If you're looking to capitalize on market movements, the 2 Days Breakout Expert Advisor (EA) for MetaTrader 4 might just be your new best friend. This EA analyzes the highs and lows of the last two days to identify breakout opportunities in the current trading session.

Here's how it works: it places a pending order at yesterday's high if the high and low of yesterday exceed those from the day before. Conversely, if yesterday's high and low are lower, it sets a pending order at yesterday's low.

If the order isn't triggered by the end of the day, it will be canceled automatically. This feature ensures that you’re not left hanging with stale orders.

This EA shines particularly when trading currency pairs against the JPY, such as:

  • USDJPY
  • EURJPY
  • GBPJPY

It operates based on open prices, but I highly recommend testing it in control points mode or on every tick, particularly on the D1 timeframe. The trigger for the order relies on ASK/BID prices after a successful breakout condition is met.

One of the standout features of this EA is that there are no parameters to optimize. This simplicity is a hallmark of its robustness, although many traders often feel the need to tinker with settings to achieve smoother equity curves.

I'm all ears for any suggestions you might have to enhance the performance of this system! Let's pool our insights and make our trading journeys even more successful.
