MPX-BRK3 — Breakout Specialist EA
Gold (XAUUSD) | H1 | MetaTrader 5
Overview
MPX-BRK3 is a Breakout Expert Advisor for Gold (XAUUSD) on the H1 timeframe. It detects Bollinger Band squeeze conditions — periods when volatility compresses and the market coils for a move — then enters in the direction of the breakout when price closes beyond the bands.
The EA opens a maximum of 1 position per symbol at a time, with built-in Breakeven and Trailing Stop systems to ride the breakout move as far as possible.
MPX-BRK3 is part of the MPX Series — a collection of 6 EAs, each built on a distinct trading strategy, designed to be run together as a diversified portfolio.

How It Works
Entry Logic
- Bollinger Bands (20, 1.7) monitor band width relative to ATR
- When BB width < ATR × Squeeze multiplier → squeeze detected
- On the next bar close above upper band → Buy
- On the next bar close below lower band → Sell
- Executes on confirmed bar close only — no duplicate entries per candle
- Maximum 1 open position per symbol at any time
Position Sizing
- Lot size calculated automatically based on % risk per trade
- SL and TP scale with ATR — adapts to current market volatility
Trade Management
- Breakeven: moves SL to open price once price reaches a defined ATR distance
- Trailing Stop: follows price by ATR distance to lock in profit as the breakout extends

Recommended Usage
- Default parameters are optimized for XAUUSD H1 and can be used as-is
- Re-optimize every 3–6 months as Gold market conditions shift over time
- Reducing InitialRisk_Percent (e.g. to 2%) will lower drawdown proportionally
- While optimized for XAUUSD, this EA can be applied to other symbols and timeframes with parameter re-optimization
Important Notes
- MPX-BRK3 is a Breakout EA — it performs best after periods of low volatility (squeeze) and may underperform in choppy, directionless markets
- Win rate is below 50% by design — the strategy wins less often but captures large moves with TP = 8× ATR
- Requires a Hedging account — does not support Netting accounts
- Always test on a Demo account first before going live
- Results will vary across brokers due to differences in spread and execution
Requirements
