Overview
Custom Range Breakout EA (CRB) is a highly configurable breakout trading system that lets you define any price range and automate trades based on your strategy.
Whether you're targeting the London open, New York session, or a custom intraday level, CRB gives you complete control over how and when to enter trades, with advanced risk tools and precise timing filters. The EA includes trailing stop, break-even logic, news filtering, day-of-week control, and more.
All dynamic trade management inputs use a percentage-based system, calculated from the distance between the entry price and the stop loss. This ensures consistent logic and adaptability across different market conditions.
Do your own testing before going live!! The default inputs are just a reference point. There are likely better ones depending on the pair you're trading. This EA only gives you the tools to apply the strategy however you want.

How It Works
-
The EA defines a price range based on your selected start time and duration
-
After the range closes, the EA waits for a breakout signal using your chosen entry mode
-
Once triggered, the trade is managed with SL, TP, BE, and TSL — all calculated as percentages of the entry-to-SL distance
-
The EA disables trading after your trade limits are reached or at the configured end-of-day time
