Ultimate Daily Breakout Expert Advisor
Many trading stratergies look to trade daily trend swings by defining levels based on the previous day's high and low on the daily chart.
When these levels are broken, price tends to trend in that direction sometimes for 100s of pips.
This EA is a tool to both look for these patterns though backtesting and then after being found to trade them live.
The Ultimate Daily Breakout EA can be optimised for and used on any currency pair, commodity, stocks or shares that MT4 can display on a chart!
The 200 EMA may be used as a filter too to make sure we are always the correct side of the major trend.
Default settings are for GBPUSD at broker GMT+3 time.
It is essential that you backtest/optimise to your broker's timezone for each pair!
See the screenshots for suggestions on how to optimise!

Best on Trendy Pairs like EURUSD, GBPUSD, GPBJPY, USDJPY, USDZAR, GOLD(XAUUSD) etc.
