Cable Squeeze is the most active EA of the series. It trades GBPUSD volatility expansions after quiet periods and lets winning trades run with a trailing stop instead of a fixed target.
HOW IT WORKS
- Squeeze of at least 9 bars (Bollinger inside Keltner 1.75).
- Breakout entry in the direction of the 100 EMA.
- 2 ATR stop loss, no fixed target: break-even after 1 ATR, then profits run with a 2 ATR trailing stop.
- About 80 trades per year.

RISK MANAGEMENT
- Every trade has a hard stop loss. No grid, no martingale, no averaging down, no hedging tricks.
- Lot size is calculated from your risk % and the stop distance, so it scales with your account.
- Daily loss limit and a margin cap protect the account on bad days.
- Maximum-spread filter: default 30 points, the value used in all backtests (made for 5-digit FX and 2-digit gold quotes). If your broker quotes this symbol with one more digit, multiply it by 10. 0 = off.
BROKER AND SETTINGS
- Session hours are broker SERVER time. Defaults were tested on a GMT+2 (winter) / GMT+3 (summer) server, which most MT5 brokers use. If your broker uses another offset, shift the session hours accordingly.
- Works with any symbol suffix (GBPUSD, GBPUSD.m, GBPUSDx ...): attach it to the chart of the symbol you want to trade.
- A low-spread / raw-spread account is recommended. Backtests include commission of about 7 USD per lot round turn.
- Minimum deposit: 300 USD. Use 0.5-1% risk per trade; start lower on a live account.
- A VPS is recommended so the EA runs 24/5.
HOW TO START
1. Open a GBPUSD H1 chart.

Trading leveraged products involves substantial risk. All figures above are backtest results from the MT5 Strategy Tester; past performance, including backtests, does not guarantee future results. This EA does not promise profits. Please run your own backtest and a demo test before trading real money.
