AP London Session Breakout

Set-and-forget breakout for the London open.
The EA builds a 07:00–08:00 server time box, places Buy Stop/Sell Stop with a user-defined buffer, puts SL at the opposite side of the box (optional extra), and targets a clean R-multiple take profit. Orders auto-expire the same day and the EA arms once per session—no spam, no martingale, no grid.
Why traders like it
-
Simple logic, strong controls. One clear setup per day with hard SL/TP and spread/margin checks.
-
Works across majors. The London open often delivers a first burst—this EA is designed to catch it.
-
Market/validator friendly. No DLLs, no web calls, pending orders only, single EX5.
How it works
-
At 08:00 (server) the EA reads the high/low of the 07:00–08:00 window.
-
It places pending Buy Stop above the box and Sell Stop below it, each with your buffer (points).
-
SL is set at the opposite side of the box (+ optional extra points).
-
TP is an R-multiple of the SL distance (e.g., 1.5R or 2R).
-
Opposite pending is canceled on fill (optional). Unfilled orders auto-expire at your chosen time.

Best practices
-
Keep MaxSpread realistic (30–50 pts on EURUSD/GBPUSD).
-
Avoid Mondays/Fridays for cleaner screenshots and steadier stats.
-
Start with FixedLots 0.01 and a moderate TP 1.2–1.5R; raise targets per symbol only after tests.
-
Use the Trend Filter (EMA200/M15) to reduce false breaks on range days.
