AI Break and Retest Trader

Trades the classic break and retest: price closes through a key level, comes back to test it, and continues.

How it works

On each closed bar of the signal timeframe (H1 by default) the EA looks for a candle that closed above the high, or below the low, of the previous range (20 bars by default).

It then waits for price to return to the broken level within a few bars. The retest candle must touch the level within an ATR based tolerance and close back on the breakout side.

If price closes back inside the old range, the setup is cancelled. The stop goes beyond the retest candle and the level with an ATR buffer; the target is a multiple of the stop.
