ENTRY LOGIC (EMA/SMA CONTEXT + STRUCTURE BREAKOUT + VOLATILITY BUFFER)
This EA confirms context first and executes only if a breakout actually happens.
It combines a **directional context filter** (EMA slope + price position vs SMA) with a **structure-based breakout trigger** using pending STOP orders placed beyond recent market structure, buffered by recent micro-volatility.
Setup conditions (context filter):
- Long setup:
- EMA(20) is falling
- AND price closes below SMA(30)
- Short setup:
- EMA(20) is rising
- AND price closes above SMA(30)
Entry rules (pending STOP orders beyond structure):
Breakout execution uses recent structural levels defined by the **highest/lowest OPEN** over the last 30 bars, with an adaptive buffer based on SmallestRange:
- LONG: place a Buy Stop at
Highest(Open, 30)[2] + 0.5 × SmallestRange(25)[3]
- SHORT: place a Sell Stop at
Lowest(Open, 30)[2] − 0.5 × SmallestRange(25)[3]
Pending orders:
- Validity: 1 bar
- Replacing existing pending orders: Allowed
- Duplicate trades: Disabled
--------------------------------------------
EXIT RULES
- Fixed Profit Target: 100 pips
- Fixed Stop Loss: 30 pips
- Fixed Trailing Stop: 50 pips
- Time-based exit: forced exit after 24 bars (≈ 24 hours on H1)
- Friday risk control: forced exit on Friday at 20:00 to reduce weekend gap exposure
--------------------------------------------
VALIDATION
Recommended: validate the build with out-of-sample (OOS) windows, robustness tests, and a dedicated TRUE OOS segment (tick retest if available) to reduce overfitting risk and confirm stability beyond the development sample.
