Overview
This EA is built around a Breakout Swing trading approach. The system automatically identifies important swing areas where price is consolidating and may be preparing for a breakout, then places pending orders to capture the next market move.
The EA does not enter trades randomly. Instead, it focuses on high-potential breakout zones and includes built-in trade management and risk control features.
Setup Requirements
- Symbol: XAUUSD (Gold)
- Timeframe: M5 (5 Minutes)
- Account Type: Raw ECN / Low-spread account is required (ideally below 1.5 pips).
- VPS: Required to ensure the EA can run 24/7 without interruption. A VPS with the lowest possible ping to your broker account is strongly recommended, as it can help reduce slippage.
- Recommended Broker: Prefer brokers with fast execution speed.
- Note: This EA relies on tight trailing stops. High-spread accounts and high VPS latency will negatively affect performance.
Main Features
1. Breakout Swing Logic
The EA scans key swing zones and identifies areas where price may be preparing for a breakout. When suitable conditions are met, it places pending orders to catch the breakout move in the direction of the market.
2. AutoLot
The EA supports AutoLot based on account balance, so users do not need to calculate lot size manually.
The general principle is:
- Smaller account balance uses smaller lot size
- As balance increases, lot size increases automatically
- This helps keep trade volume aligned with account size
This feature is suitable for users who want a simpler, more consistent way to manage position sizing and capital exposure.
3. Trading Time Filter
The EA only allows new trades during the trading session configured by the user according to server time.
Outside this time window, the EA will not open new positions.
This feature helps:
- focus trading during more favorable market hours,
- avoid sessions with wider spreads or poor liquidity,
- improve consistency in live trading conditions.
4. Early Close When Slip Is Detected
The EA includes an early exit mechanism when unfavorable slippage is detected beyond the allowed threshold.
The purpose is to reduce the impact of trades that are filled too far away from the intended entry price, especially during fast market moves, major news events, or abnormal spread conditions.
5. Automatic Risk Management
Once a trade moves in the intended direction, the EA can automatically manage Stop Loss according to its internal logic in order to protect profits and reduce the risk of holding positions too long during market reversals.
Setup Notes
- Always verify the correct server time before configuring the Trading Time Filter
- It is recommended to test the EA on a demo account first to determine suitable lot settings
- A low-spread account and stable execution environment are recommended for best performance
- A VPS is strongly recommended if you want the EA to run continuously
