Trading Principle (incl. Day Filter)

The high and low of the last completed daily candle act as breakout zones.

Breakout via Pending Orders

• Buy Stop above the previous day’s high + buffer

• Sell Stop below the previous day’s low + buffer

Time & Day Filter

Trade only within a freely definable time window (e.g., 07:00–22:00 server time).

Additionally, a day filter can be activated:

On non-active days, no new pending orders will be placed and existing pending orders created by the EA on this symbol will be removed.
