Three Bar Break Free

This is the free version of 3 Bar Break. The only difference is the lotsize has been disabled to 0.01. 

3 Bar Break is based on one of Linda Bradford Raschke's trading methods that I have noticed is good at spotting potential future price volatility. It looks for when the previous bar's High is less than the 3rd bar's High as well as the previous bar's Low to be higher than the 3rd bar's Low. It then predicts the market might breakout to new levels within 2-3 of the next coming bars.

This EA should work on any market and any timeframe though is optimised for EURUSD 15m timeframe.
