GBPJPY Trend Breakout EA is an automated trading system specifically designed for the GBPJPY currency pair.
The strategy combines trend detection, price breakouts and volatility analysis to identify potentially significant market movements while avoiding low-quality signals during weak market conditions.
How does it work?
The EA uses several complementary components:
-
EMA 50 / EMA 200 to identify the prevailing market trend.
-
20-bar breakout detection to identify new highs and lows.
-
ADX to filter trades when market momentum is insufficient.
-
ATR to dynamically adapt Stop Loss and Take Profit to current market volatility.
-
Break-even protection to protect trades after a predefined movement in the expected direction.
-
ATR-based trailing stop to attempt to stay with stronger market movements.
Buy and sell conditions are evaluated using closed candles, helping avoid decisions based on an unfinished candle.

Designed for GBPJPY
The default configuration is designed for GBPJPY on the H1 timeframe.
The EA can also be tested with different settings through the MetaTrader 5 Strategy Tester, allowing traders to evaluate the strategy under different market conditions.
Recommended Starting Configuration
The default configuration uses:

EMA: 50 / 200

Stop Loss: 1.5 × ATR
Take Profit: 2.5 × ATR
These parameters are intended as a starting configuration and are not a guarantee of future performance.
No Overcomplicated Trading Logic
GBPJPY Breakout EA deliberately focuses on a clear and transparent trading concept:
Trend → Momentum → Breakout → Volatility-based Risk Management
The objective is not to trade every market movement, but to participate selectively when several conditions align.
Important
Trading Forex involves substantial risk. Past backtest or live trading results do not guarantee future performance.
Always test the EA on a demo account before using it on a live account and choose your position size according to your own risk tolerance.
GBPJPY Breakout EA is a systematic trading tool designed for traders who prefer a rules-based approach to trend and breakout trading.
