AP London Session Breakout (MT5)

Time-box breakout for the London open. Clean logic, validator-safe.

MT5BreakoutTime-box

What it does

Between 07:00–08:00 server time the EA builds the session box and places a pending Buy Stop / Sell Stop with your buffer. It can put SL on the opposite side of the box, and targets a fixed R-multiple take-profit. Orders auto-expire the same day; the EA arms again next session.

Why traders like it

  • Simple, strict rules. One clear setup per day.
  • Hard SL/TP. No martingale, no grid, no averaging.
  • Order safety. Spread & margin checks; opposite pending auto-cleanup on fill.
  • Works across majors. London’s first burst is what this aims to catch.

Key inputs

  • SignalTF – timeframe to build the box
  • BoxBufferPts – buffer above/below box for entries
  • SL_Mode – “OppositeSide” or fixed points
  • TP_R_Multiple – target in R
  • ExpireSameDay – cancel unfilled pendings before EOD
  • Magic – unique ID to avoid clashes

How to use

  1. Attach to the symbol you want to trade (one chart per symbol).
  2. Set your risk, buffer and SL/TP preferences.
  3. Enable algo trading. The EA will arm during the London pre-session.

Backtests are indicative. Use sensible risk, and test on a demo first.
