Overview
"Step Ahead" is the ultimate breakout expert advisor
The basic strategy is trading breakouts from a time range. It takes a start time and an end time as inputs. The EA sets breakout trades at the end of the ranges and manages the trades via breakeven and trailing stops mechanisms. The trades will be closed if SL or TP hits, and you can configure to close all open trades and orders at a specific time as part of the range settings.
The strategy requires an SL for each trade. It is not a risky strategy and doesn’t use martingale, grid, or averaging!
This expert advisor has many features that would certainly fit the needs of any trader trading breakout strategies. When running multiple instances of “Step Ahead” you can activate the daily drawdown check. This will allow the different instances of different symbols to communicate and stop trading if a maximum drawdown is reached. Ideal for prop firm accounts.
What do you need to run it?
The EA suits all levels of traders, beginners, intermediate, or experts.
You can run it on a small account of 500$ with a risk of 1% to 2% per trade. It can also work on a 100$ account but be aware that with a minimum standard volume 0.01, your risk is higher.

The default provided settings are optimized to trade USDJPY on the Asian Range breakout.
