Nexus D1 Breakout Onyx

Nexus D1 Breakout Onyx

Nexus Onyx is a compact breakout specialist for MetaTrader 4, built around XAUUSD on the D1 timeframe. It is positioned for lean execution for traders who prefer fewer, higher-conviction D1 setups.

The EA uses pending breakout orders, volatility confirmation, and ATR-based trade management. It is designed as a slower daily-chart system, not a grid, martingale, recovery, or high-frequency scalping product.

• Recommended chart: D1

Strategy Logic

Nexus D1 Breakout Onyx waits for a daily breakout context, then qualifies direction with volatility and momentum rules before placing pending orders. The goal is to participate in follow-through while avoiding constant market-order chasing.

• Buy Stop breakout entry
• Sell Stop breakout entry
• StdDev expansion filter
• MACD main vs signal confirmation
• Bears Power filter for long setups
• Bulls Power filter for short setups

Risk And Exit Model

• Signal-based market exit

The shipped defaults use fixed-lot money management. Start with the default lot size, confirm symbol contract settings, and only scale after broker-side demo testing.

Key Inputs

• MagicNumber: 11111 (magic number)
• mmLots: 0.1 (fixed lot size)
• StopLossCoef1: 2 (atr stop-loss multiplier)
• ProfitTargetCoef1: 3.6 (atr profit-target multiplier)
• OpenBarDelay: 0 (open-bar delay in minutes)

Advanced users can optimize inputs, but the default values are the intended structure for this version. Any optimization should include out-of-sample checks and wider cost assumptions.

Execution Checklist

1. Install the EA in MetaTrader 4 and attach it to a XAUUSD D1 chart.
2. Enable automated trading and confirm that the broker allows pending stop orders at the required distance.
3. Review lot size, spread behavior, commission, swap, margin, and slippage before live use.
4. Forward test on demo or a small live account before increasing exposure.
5. Recheck settings after terminal updates, broker symbol changes, or major market-condition changes.

Validation Notes

• Historical testing and screenshots are not a promise of future performance.
• Stress test with wider spread, higher commission, and realistic slippage before using the EA in production.

FAQ

Is this a martingale or grid EA?
No. Nexus D1 Breakout Onyx is positioned as a daily breakout/trend system with pending orders and defined exits.

Can I use it on other symbols or timeframes?
The primary supported setup is XAUUSD / D1. Other markets should be treated as custom research and validated separately.

Should I optimize the settings?
You can, but avoid chasing a perfect backtest. Prefer small changes, out-of-sample testing, Monte Carlo checks, and realistic trading costs.
