Overview
Super Breakout System is a fully automated Expert Advisor for MetaTrader 5 built on a classic and time-tested concept: the time range breakout. The EA identifies the highest high and lowest low within a user-defined time window, then places Buy Stop and Sell Stop orders at those levels, waiting for price to break out and capture the momentum that follows.
This is a clean, straightforward, and highly effective approach to trading breakouts, suitable for traders who want a disciplined, rule-based system that requires no manual chart watching.
How It Works
The logic behind Super Breakout System is simple and logical:
-
The EA monitors price action between a user-defined start hour and end hour (the range period).
-
During this window, it records the highest high and the lowest low, forming the breakout range.
-
Once the range period ends, the EA places a Buy Stop order just above the highest high and a Sell Stop order just below the lowest low.
-
When price breaks above or below the range, the corresponding order triggers and the trade is opened.
-
Each trade is protected with a Stop Loss based on a user-defined value in points.
-
At a user-defined closing hour, the EA automatically closes any open positions and removes any pending orders, ensuring no trades are held overnight or beyond the intended session.
This method captures the explosive price movements that often occur when price breaks out of a consolidated range, while the time-based exit keeps risk controlled and prevents trades from lingering in unfavorable conditions.
