AurumBreak Pro

A fully automated MetaTrader 5 Expert Advisor for breakout trading XAUUSD (Gold) on the M1 timeframe. AurumBreak Pro maps the overnight Asian session consolidation range, then places precision orders the moment Gold breaks out. The opposing order is cancelled immediately on fill — keeping risk clean and one-sided at all times.

Technical support is provided for XAUUSD M1 only. Default settings were used for all backtest results shown below.

⚙ How It Works

AurumBreak Pro follows a strict daily pipeline. Nothing trades unless every condition in the sequence is met.

Phase 1 — Market Analysis (Early Session) The EA continuously monitors price action during the early trading session, applying its proprietary analysis engine to identify a key reference zone for the day. Built-in quality filters automatically evaluate whether market conditions meet the minimum criteria for a valid setup — days that fail the criteria are skipped entirely, protecting the account from low-probability environments.

Phase 2 — Position Preparation (Session Transition) When the analysis phase concludes, the EA prepares entry orders on both sides of the market simultaneously. Each order is independently sized using a precise risk-based lot calculation that accounts for the specific price level, account balance, and broker tick value. Stop-loss and take-profit levels are derived automatically from the day's market structure.

Phase 3 — Smart Entry Execution The EA monitors for a confirmed directional breakout. Once price commits to a direction and an order fills, the system immediately cleans up the opposing order — eliminating unwanted exposure and ensuring the trade remains clean and one-sided. This logic is robust across VPS restarts and platform reconnections, with automatic recovery built in.

Phase 4 — Active Trade Management Once in a trade, the EA's management engine takes over. A configurable protection mechanism can move the stop-loss to a secure level as profit develops. An optional dynamic trailing mechanism then follows price to lock in gains as the move extends. All positions are automatically resolved at end of day, leaving no open risk overnight.

📋 Lot Sizing Formula

All volume modes use a broker-accurate position sizing formula that accounts for tick value, tick size, and actual SL distance:

Lots = Risk Amount ÷ (SL Distance ÷ Tick Size × Tick Value)

This is critical for Gold, where a simplified formula (Risk ÷ SL points) will significantly undersize or oversize positions depending on the current Gold price. The EA handles this correctly across all four lot modes:

• Fixed Lots — constant lot size every trade
• Fixed Lots per X Balance — e.g. 0.01 lot per $1,000 balance
• % Risk per Trade — e.g. 0.3% of account balance (default)
• Fixed $ Risk per Trade — e.g. $50 per trade regardless of balance

✅ When AurumBreak Pro Performs Well

• Clean Asian session consolidation followed by a directional London open breakout
• Low-spread conditions — tested on Pepperstone Raw spreads (typically 1–5 pts on XAUUSD during the Asian session)
• Days where Gold gaps or trends strongly from the open of the London or New York session
• Macro-driven momentum after FOMC, CPI, NFP, or geopolitical events push Gold directionally
• Any day where the overnight range is well-defined and contained (not spiked by thin-market news)

⚠ When Losses Are Mathematically Inevitable

• False breakouts where price triggers one side then immediately reverses back into the range — the cancel-opposing logic limits damage to one loss per day
• Extremely thin Asian sessions (e.g. public holidays) where the range is unusually narrow or noisy — use MinRangePoints to filter these out
• High-spread conditions during news events — the EA places orders at fixed prices, so a spread spike at entry can widen the effective SL
• Days where Gold chops sideways across the range boundary multiple times before any direction is established

These are inherent costs of a breakout system — not bugs. The range quality filters and the one-trade-per-direction daily limit are specifically designed to reduce their frequency.
