ARGUS Breakout Universal — Volatility Breakout EA for MT5
A fully automated breakout trading system built on one core principle: enter only when the market is truly moving, protect capital when it is not. No martingale. No grid. No averaging.
How It Works
The EA detects consolidation zones — periods where price compresses within a tight range. When price breaks out with volume confirmation, the EA enters in the breakout direction, filtered by a Daily SMA trend filter to avoid counter-trend trades.
- Consolidation detection: N candles within a volatility threshold
- Breakout confirmation: close-based break with ATR buffer (no false spike entries)
- Volume filter: current volume must exceed average by a multiplier
- Trend filter: SMA on D1 — buy only above, sell only below
3-Layer Capital Protection System
1. Step-Down Risk
After N consecutive losses, risk per trade is automatically reduced by a configurable factor. Resets on first winning trade.
2. BreakEven Protection
After N consecutive losses, the EA moves SL to lock a small profit once price reaches a defined % of the TP distance. Prevents winners from turning into losers.
3. Circuit Breaker
After N consecutive losses in one day, all new entries are blocked until the next calendar day. Stops overtrading on bad days.
