SHORT DESCRIPTION
An automated opening-range breakout EA with higher-timeframe trend confirmation, volatility filters and controlled risk management.
FULL DESCRIPTION
Intraday Range Momentum is an automated Expert Advisor for MetaTrader 5 designed to trade intraday breakouts after a configurable opening range.
The EA first records the highest and lowest prices during the selected range-building period. After the range is complete, it monitors closed candles for a confirmed breakout. An optional higher-timeframe EMA filter helps keep entries aligned with the broader market direction.
Trading logic
- Builds an intraday price range at a configurable broker-server time.
- Looks for a candle close above or below the range with an ATR-based breakout buffer.
- Uses an optional higher-timeframe EMA trend filter.
- Filters ranges that are too narrow or too wide relative to current ATR.
- Blocks entries when the spread is excessive relative to volatility.
- Allows long-only, short-only or two-way operation.
- Limits the number of new positions opened per day.
- Stops new entries when the configured daily loss limit is reached.
Risk and position management
- Automatic position sizing based on account equity and percentage risk.
- Optional fixed-lot operation.
- Stop Loss based on the opening-range width with an ATR minimum distance.
- Take Profit calculated from a configurable reward-to-risk ratio.
- Optional break-even management.
- Automatic position closure at the end of the trading session.
- Separate Magic Number for position and history tracking.
Visual information
The integrated chart panel displays the current operating status, signal state, opening-range size, number of daily entries and the realized result for the current trading day. Optional horizontal lines show the active range high and low directly on the chart.
