Breakout XAUUSD Pro with sophisticatedly calculated risk managing stop loss and lot sizing.
No Martingale, No Hedging, No Gridding. Pure Trading
Trades the daily range breakout with a stop loss that adapts to real market volatility — not a fixed number that gets blown out on a wild day.
How It Works
At a chosen server hour each day, the EA marks the previous day's high and low, then places pending Buy Stop and Sell Stop orders just beyond that range with a configurable point buffer. Whichever level breaks first triggers the trade — the opposite pending order can be cancelled or left active depending on your setup.
Key Features
🎯 ATR-Based Stop Loss
Stop loss distance is calculated from the Average True Range, scaled by a multiplier you control. This means your risk automatically widens on volatile days and tightens on calm ones while maintaining proper risk management — instead of a static SL getting stopped out by normal noise.
💰 Fixed Dollar Take Profit
Take profit is set as a straight dollar amount per trade, giving you predictable, easy-to-plan reward targets regardless of the instrument's point value.
📊 Dynamic Lot Sizing
Position size scales automatically with your account balance using a configurable aggression factor — so your risk grows (or shrinks) proportionally as your account does, with a hard maximum lot cap to keep you in control.
🔒 Two-Stage Trailing Stop
- Trigger Phase: once price moves in your favor by a set amount, the SL jumps to lock in a partial gain
- Active Trail Phase: from there, the stop trails price at a fixed distance, only ever moving in your favor — protecting profit while letting winners run

Why Traders Like This Approach
No indicators to watch, no discretionary decisions during the session — the EA identifies the range, places both sides of the breakout, and manages risk and profit automatically from entry to exit.
