Dollar Yen Session Breakout is a fully automated Expert Advisor for USDJPY by MDL Trading.
It trades the most active hours of the USDJPY day: it waits for the market to build a quiet range, then enters only when price breaks out of it with momentum.
How it trades
- Maximum one trade per day - no overtrading
- Every trade has a fixed Stop Loss and Take Profit from the moment it opens
- No grid, no martingale, no averaging, no hedging
- Lot size is calculated automatically from your risk %
- Days with unsuitable market conditions are skipped automatically
- Open trades are closed the same day - no overnight or weekend positions
Built for prop firms
- Max daily loss % and max total loss % protection (counts all trades on the account)
- Before every trade the EA checks how much loss room is left and reduces the lot size if needed
- Optional high-impact news filter: no new trades around news, open trades can be closed before the release

Strategy Tester tip
Brokers with GMT+2/+3 server time: keep Auto time zone = true.
GMT+0 brokers (for example Exness): set Auto time zone = false and Server offset = 3.
On a live chart the time zone is always detected automatically.
Risk warning
These are backtest results, not live trading results. Past results do not guarantee future results. Losing days and losing months happen - the longest losing run in the backtest was 10 trades, and 2021 was a losing year. Trade only with money you can afford to lose.
