Trade Like The Institutions
The ICT Breaker Block EA is a sophisticated automated trading system based on the powerful Inner Circle Trader (ICT) methodology. This EA identifies institutional order blocks, detects when they are broken (becoming "breaker blocks"), and enters trades when price returns to test these levels.
What This EA Does
Core Strategy
The EA automatically:
- Detects Order Blocks - Identifies consolidation zones where institutions have placed orders
- Monitors For Breaks - Watches for price breaking through these zones (creating breaker blocks)
- Enters On Retests - Opens trades when price returns to test the breaker block
- Manages Positions - Handles stop loss, take profit, and optional trailing stop
Trading Logic
Bullish Setup:
- Bearish order block gets broken to the upside
- Becomes a bullish breaker block
- EA buys when price retests the zone from above
Bearish Setup:
- Bullish order block gets broken to the downside
- Becomes a bearish breaker block
- EA sells when price retests the zone from below
