ProTrade Break & Retest / Fakeout Reversal EA Description
The ProTrade Break & Retest / Fakeout Reversal EA is an automated trading tool designed to capitalize on false breakouts and mean-reversion opportunities at key session highs and lows. It combines volume divergence analysis, momentum confirmation, and robust risk management to execute high-probability reversal trades.
Strategy Overview
This EA identifies when price breaks above session highs or below session lows but fails to sustain the move—a classic "fakeout" pattern. By confirming entries with volume divergence and momentum reversal signals, it executes trades in the opposite direction of the false breakout, targeting a return to the session range with favorable risk-reward ratios.
Key Features
Break & Retest Detection
- Configurable session lookback period to define key support/resistance levels
- Volume divergence filter identifies weakening momentum at breakout attempts
- Momentum indicator confirmation ensures entries align with reversal signals
- Optional aggressive mode bypasses filters for increased signal frequency
Risk Management & Safety
- Fixed Stop Loss and Take Profit inputs for consistent, tester-friendly execution
- Dynamic position sizing based on account balance and configurable risk percentage
- Minimum account balance validation prevents trading on underfunded accounts
- Market hours validation skips execution when the symbol is closed (prevents weekend errors)
- Optional trailing stop with configurable activation threshold and step size
- Daily trade limit and optional daily loss limit for controlled exposure
- Spread filter avoids entries during unfavorable market conditions
Visual Dashboard & Controls
- Real-time display of auto-trading status, daily P/L, trade count, equity, and risk metrics
- One-click toggle to pause/resume automated trading
- Manual "Close All" button for immediate position management
- Optional chart styling applies user preferences on load
