Overview

Range Breakout EA is a professional Opening Range Breakout Expert Advisor for MetaTrader 5, built specifically for traders participating in prop firm evaluations and funded account challenges. Every component — from lot sizing to news filtering to drawdown enforcement — is designed around the risk rules that prop firms actually enforce.

Optimised and battle-tested primarily on XAUUSD (Gold) and USDJPY — two of the most liquid and technically clean instruments for breakout strategies.

No martingale. No grid. No averaging. No hidden logic. Full transparency, repeatable execution, capital protection first.

Supports both NETTING and HEDGING accounts.

Key Features

Multi-Layer Filter System

• Range Size Filter — skips sessions where range is abnormally narrow or wide
• HTF Trend Filter — M15 EMA and H1 EMA confirm macro direction before entry

Prop Firm Compliance Module

Built to meet the standard risk rules enforced by funded account evaluation programs:

• Daily Loss Limit — halts all trading and closes positions when threshold is breached
• Daily Profit Target — stops trading once daily goal is reached
• Overall Account Limit — tracks cumulative equity from EA start; halts on breach
• Max Trade Controls — separate caps for long, short, and total daily trades
• News Avoidance — no new orders during configurable pre/post news windows
• Pre-News Position Close — closes open trades before high-impact events

Always verify your specific program's current rules before live deployment.

FAQ

Works in Strategy Tester with news filter? Yes — MT5 stores the economic calendar locally. Historical news events are reflected in backtests once calendar data is downloaded.

Lot sizing accurate for Gold (XAUUSD)? Yes — the EA uses the tick-value method with a live price refresh on every calculation, which is the correct approach for Gold where tick value moves with price.

Lot sizing accurate for USDJPY? Yes — the same tick-value method handles JPY pairs correctly regardless of the exchange rate level.

Any DLL or external data connection? No — zero external dependencies. The news filter runs entirely on MT5's built-in CalendarValueHistory() function.

Multiple instruments simultaneously? Yes — attach one instance per chart with a unique Magic Number for each. Running XAUUSD and USDJPY together is fully supported.

Actively maintained — free updates included for all buyers.

Past results do not guarantee future performance. Trading carries risk. Size positions appropriately for your account and program rules.
