ENTRY LOGIC (AO REVERSAL TRIGGER + STRUCTURE BREAKOUT + RANGE BUFFER)
This EA looks for reversal intent first and executes only if price confirms continuation beyond recent structure.
It combines an **Awesome Oscillator zero-line cross** with a **structure-based breakout trigger** using pending STOP orders placed beyond the recent highest or lowest close, buffered by recent bar range.
Setup conditions (reversal trigger):
- Long setup:
- Awesome Oscillator crosses **below zero**
- Short setup:
- Awesome Oscillator crosses **above zero**
Additional trade filter:
- No Trade Recently Closed
Entry rules (pending STOP orders beyond structure):
Breakout execution uses recent structural levels defined by the **highest/lowest CLOSE** over the last 14 bars, shifted by a volatility buffer based on **Bar Range**:
- LONG: place a Buy Stop at
Highest(Close, 14)[7] + 1.9 × BarRange()[6]
- SHORT: place a Sell Stop at
Lowest(Close, 14)[7] − 1.9 × BarRange()[6]
Pending orders:
- Validity: 21 bars
- Replacing existing pending orders: Disabled
- Duplicate trades: Disabled
--------------------------------------------
EXIT RULES
- Fixed Profit Target: 280 pips
- Stop Loss: 3.3 × ATR(22)
- Trailing Stop: Not used
- Time-based exit: not used
- Friday risk control: forced exit on Friday at 21:00 to reduce weekend gap exposure
--------------------------------------------
VALIDATION
Recommended: validate the build with out-of-sample (OOS) windows, robustness tests, and a dedicated TRUE OOS segment (tick retest if available) to reduce overfitting risk and confirm stability beyond the development sample.
