# Pending Breakout EA - Complete Matrix Edition
**Pending Breakout EA (Matrix Edition)** is a high-precision, fully automated breakout trading system engineered to capitalize on market volatility and momentum expansions. By placing dual pending stop orders (**Buy Stop & Sell Stop**) outside current market ranges, the EA captures early directional moves while protecting equity through flexible risk controls and interactive chart-level management.
Equipped with a built-in **Matrix Algo Interactive Dashboard**, traders can monitor live P&L, track floating drawdown, and manage trades directly from the MetaTrader 5 chart interface.

### 🌟 Key Features
* **Dual Directional Breakouts:** Simultaneously sets Buy Stop and Sell Stop orders at defined distances to capture momentum shifts in either direction.
* **Smart OCO (One-Cancels-the-Other) Logic:** When one pending order triggers or gets canceled, the opposite pending order is instantly cleared to prevent unnecessary exposure.
* **Dynamic ATR or Fixed Trailing Stop:** Secure profits dynamically using either standard Pip-based trailing or volatility-adaptive ATR trailing.
* **Interactive Chart Dashboard:** Pause/Start trading, inspect long/short P&L breakdowns, and trigger an emergency "Close All Trades" action with one click.
* **Backtest & Live Optimized:** Bypasses graphic processing overhead in the Strategy Tester for rapid multi-year optimization runs.
* **Spread & Time Filtering:** Define permitted trading hours and maximum allowable spread to avoid bad fills during market rollover or high-slippage news spikes.

### ⚙️ How It Works
1. **Range Calculation:** The EA calculates pending buy/sell distances using the current Bid/Ask prices adjusted for spread and account digits.
2. **Pending Placement:** Buy Stop and Sell Stop orders are placed with predefined Initial Stop Loss and Take Profit levels.
3. **Execution & Trailing:** As soon as price breaks out and triggers a pending order, the EA activates profit tracking and trailing stop management.
4. **Auto Cycle Restart:** When enabled (`EnableAutoRestart`), the EA automatically clears remaining orders after a trade closes and sets up the next breakout cycle.
