JPY Sentinel β Asian Session Breakout Bot for USD/JPY
JPY Sentinel is a fully automated breakout trading bot for USD/JPY, designed for cTrader. It identifies the Asian session price range (08:00β11:00 local time), then places pending Stop orders to capture the directional breakout. Positions are managed automatically with configurable Stop Loss, Max Risk Cap, and Early Exit β no manual intervention required.
Strategy Type:: Rule-based Asian session breakout. One trade per day, maximum. Compatible with any liquid instrument β optimized for USD/JPY.
Entry Logic: The bot records the high and low during the configurable range window. After the range closes, it places a Buy Stop above the high and a Sell Stop below the low. When one order fills, the opposite is cancelled instantly.

Trading during news events is at the trader's discretion. We recommend pausing the bot before scheduled high-impact releases.
