AP DayTrader Impulse Box MT5

What it does

Intraday engine that combines a session “box” range (M5) with an impulse filter (EMA/RSI on M15). When price escapes the box with momentum confirmation, the EA places a single market order in that direction.

• Simple logic, few knobs 

• Box + impulse confirmation

• No martingale, no grid, no averaging

• Works on netting accounts

How entries are decided

1. Build a time-window “box” from recent session hours (start/end inputs).

2. Wait for price to escape the box by a buffer (points).

3. Confirm impulse via fast/slow EMA alignment and RSI filter.

4. Send a single order with SL/TP (ATR-based by default).

5. Optional breakeven + ATR trail once price moves in favor.
