Pure Price Breakout
Pure Price Breakout is an Expert Advisor for gold (XAUUSD) that trades one thing only: price breaking through its own recent highs and lows. It uses no indicators, no grid, no martingale and no averaging. Every trade has a fixed stop loss and a fixed take profit from the moment it is placed.
How it trades
- The EA reads raw candle prices and marks the swing highs and swing lows that the market has left untouched.
- It places pending stop orders around those levels and waits for price to break out.
- Several independent breakout layers work on the same swings with different timing, so entries are spread instead of concentrated in one order.
- Once a trade is in profit, a profit lock moves the stop loss behind the price to protect part of the gain.
- After a stop loss, the EA waits before trading the same level again.
Risk control
- One stop loss per trade, always set at order placement.
- Lot size is calculated automatically from your risk percent and stop loss distance. Change either one and the lot adjusts.
- Fixed lot mode and a maximum lot per order are available.
- Optional trading hours, rollover-hour block and weekend order removal.
Backtest summary
XAUUSD, H1, 1 January 2025 to 2 October 2026, every tick based on real ticks, deposit 7,000 USD, leverage 1:100, fixed lot 0.28, stop loss 5.0:

History quality for this period was 42%, so part of the test used generated ticks. The largest drawdown occurred in the first weeks of the test. Past and backtest results do not guarantee future performance; slippage and spread on a live account will reduce results.
