Box Breakout Strategy

The Box Breakout Strategy EA is an intraday breakout system. During a time window you define, it captures the high and low of price to draw a "box," then places stop orders just above and below the box once the window closes. Whichever side price breaks triggers a trade in that direction.

To cut down on false breakouts, it uses two moving averages to read the trend and only takes the breakout that lines up with it. Once a position is open, a trailing stop, time-based exit, and daily trade limit keep risk in check.

Core Logic

• Build the box from the price range inside your chosen session
• Place a buy stop at the box top and a sell stop at the box bottom
• Filter with dual moving averages so only trend-aligned breakouts fire

Risk & Position Management

• Trailing stop follows price to lock in gains already on the table
• Cap how many trades open per day; close out and cancel pending orders at a set time
• Lot sizing by fixed lots or by percent-of-account risk
