Session Range Breakout with Prop Firm Risk Control

Session Range Breakout with Prop Firm Risk Control

Session Range Breakout with Prop Firm Risk Control is a fully automated Expert Advisor designed to trade structured session breakouts using a clearly defined price range.

The system focuses on disciplined execution, transparent risk management, and strict capital protection — making it suitable for both personal trading and prop firm environments.

The EA does not rely on indicators or curve fitting. Instead, it uses pure price action derived from a configurable session range.

? Trading Strategy

The Expert Advisor builds a session price range (high and low) during a user-defined time window.
Once the range is completed, the EA monitors price action and enters trades when a confirmed breakout occurs.

Strategy logic:

• A range is calculated using a fixed start time and duration (in minutes)

• The highest high and lowest low of the range are recorded

• After the range closes, the EA looks for:

  • A breakout above the range high → Buy

  • A breakout below the range low → Sell

• Optional modes:

  • One breakout per session

  • Two breakouts per session (high and low)

The system is designed to work well on indices, gold, and liquid CFDs, especially during high-volatility sessions.

?️ Risk Management

Risk control is a core feature of this Expert Advisor.

Position sizing options:

• Fixed lot size

• Fixed monetary risk per trade

• Percentage risk based on account equity

Trade protection:

• Stop Loss calculated as a percentage of the session range

• Optional Take Profit based on the same range logic

• Automatic position closure at a defined session close time

All lot sizes are validated against symbol limits (minimum, maximum, and step).

When enabled, the EA can:

• Monitor maximum daily drawdown

This feature makes the EA suitable for evaluation phases and risk-restricted trading environments.
