Description
Inside Bar Breakout Expert Advisor for MetaTrader 5
EA009 automates a closed-candle compression setup: a mother bar defines the range, one to five inside bars qualify the pattern, and EMA permission selects the breakout direction. Version 1.28 adds a fixed initial risk/reward TP and one closed-candle trailing method.
Explore the Inside Bar Breakout strategy and actual trade examples.
What the robot does
- Time-based signal candles on M5/M15/M30/H1/H4/D1 or current chart TF.
- BUY STOP / SELL STOP beyond the mother range, optional tightly capped market fallback.
- EMA permission with optional counter-MA mode and independent direction controls.
- Range-based SL capped by a fixed distance; TP as a multiple of initial entry-to-SL risk.
- Closed-candle trailing with an inside-bar hold and directional close unlock.
- Separate batch tickets, balance-scaled volume, optional linear recovery and profit-funded loss reduction.
- Broker-server session/day filters and visual entry/exit history.
Batch size and account requirements
MT5 hedging is required. The source default is 0.01 lot PER TICKET with six tickets per batch and up to three batches per direction, subject to filters. AutoLot is balance scaling, not fixed-percentage stop risk. Recovery can increase later exposure while older tickets remain open.
The supplied H4 preset enables AutoLot, recovery and profit-funded loss reduction. It uses EMA 90, one inside bar, SL multiplier 2 / cap 2500 points, TP 2R, trailing shift 2 / buffer 50, and entries from 10:00 to 21:30 server time with Friday disabled. These are historical research settings, not a live risk recommendation.

No untouched out-of-sample or forward result was supplied.
