Range Breakout Fusion

Range Breakout Fusion

A pure trend-following breakout strategy validated across 6+ years of historical data on three uncorrelated assets. No martingale, no grid, no averaging — just one trade per day per symbol with a hard stop loss.

How it works

Range Breakout Fusion implements the classic Opening Range Breakout (ORB) concept, adapted independently for each of the three symbols:

1. Range building — During a defined session window the EA observes price and computes the High and Low of that period.

2. Pending orders — When the range closes, two stop orders are placed simultaneously: a BuyStop at the range high and a SellStop at the range low. Whichever fires first automatically cancels the other (OCO logic).

3. Hard stop loss — Every trade has a fixed stop loss from the moment of execution. No moving stops, no breakeven hunts, no averaging down.

4. Session close — Any remaining open position is closed at a defined hour (typically 19:00–20:00 server time), capturing the daily trend without holding overnight.

5. One trade per day per symbol — Three symbols means a maximum of three trades per day across the whole portfolio.

What this EA is NOT

This is the most important section. Range Breakout Fusion does NOT use any of the following dangerous practices:

• No martingale — never doubles position size after a loss

• No grid trading — never opens multiple positions in the same direction

• No averaging down — never adds to losing positions

• No hedging tricks — no opposite-direction safety nets

• No "recovery" modes — losses are taken, not reversed

• No overnight risk — all positions close before end of session

• No high-frequency scalping — average trade duration is around 9 hours

If a trade hits its stop loss, the EA accepts the loss and waits for the next day. This is what makes the equity curve smooth — there are no hidden risks accumulating in the background.

Key features

• Multi-symbol parallel execution — Trades XAUUSD, USDJPY and BTCUSD independently from a single chart

• Independent settings per symbol — Each market has its own range hours, close hours and stop loss type, tuned to its specific behavior

• Live dashboard panel — On-chart visualization of range levels, pending orders, today's trades, last 30 days statistics and account info

• Smart lot sizing — Calculates position size from a configurable risk percentage and the actual stop loss distance, with a maximum lot cap as a safety net

• Stop loss buffer for crypto — Optional point-based buffer beyond the range, designed to protect against widening spreads on volatile instruments like BTCUSD

• Stealth mode — Optional small randomization of lot size, close timing and magic numbers so multiple accounts running the same EA don't generate identical trades. Useful for prop firm accounts.

• Trading day filter — Easily disable specific weekdays

• Range visualization — Optional on-chart range boxes with high/low extension lines, color-coded per symbol

Backtest results (2020–2026)

Tested on a portfolio of XAUUSD + USDJPY + BTCUSD with 0.5% risk per trade on a €10,000 starting deposit. Spread and commissions enabled. M1 timeframe with real tick data, 99% history quality.

Symbols and timeframes

• Symbols: XAUUSD (Gold), USDJPY, BTCUSD

• Recommended timeframe: M1 or M5 (the EA reads M1 internally regardless of chart timeframe)

• Server time dependency: All session hours are based on broker server time, not your local time

Quick start

1. After purchase, the EA appears automatically in your MT5 Navigator under Expert Advisors / Market

2. Drag the EA onto any chart (XAUUSD, USDJPY or BTCUSD)

3. Enable AutoTrading

The EA only needs to be attached to one chart — it trades all three symbols independently from there.

Note about BTCUSD: BTCUSD trading is disabled by default. To enable it, set BTC_Enabled = true in the inputs. Make sure your broker supports cryptocurrency trading and the symbol name matches (some brokers use BTCUSDm , BTC/USD , or Bitcoin ).

If your broker uses a non-standard symbol name (e.g. XAUUSDm , USDJPY.r , BTC/USD ), update the XAU_Symbol , JPY_Symbol and BTC_Symbol inputs accordingly.

Recommendations

Broker: Use a broker with low spreads, fast execution and ECN-style pricing. The strategy enters at breakout points, where slippage matters more than usual. Avoid market makers with widening spreads.

Account size: Minimum recommended deposit is €2,000–€3,000 when running all three symbols simultaneously, due to the minimum lot requirements. For €1,000 accounts, consider running only 1–2 symbols.

VPS: Recommended for 24/7 reliability. The EA must be online during the session windows (early morning to evening server time) to place and manage orders correctly.

Risk per trade: Default is 0.5% per trade. Conservative users may reduce to 0.25%. Aggressive risk above 1% is not recommended given that up to 3 symbols may trigger on the same day.

Support

For questions, issues or configuration help, please use the comments section of this product page. I read every message and respond as quickly as possible.

If the EA doesn't behave as expected, please include in your message:

• Broker name and account type (demo/live)

• The exact symbol names visible in your Market Watch

• A screenshot of the Experts tab logs

Recommended next step: Download the demo version (if available) or test on a demo account for at least 2–3 weeks before going live. The strategy has shown consistency over years of data, but only your own broker's execution quality will determine your real results.
