EURUSD_DAILYBREAK – Strategy Description
Overview
EURUSD_DAILYBREAK is an automated breakout strategy designed for the EURUSD pair on the M15 timeframe.
The system trades structured daily range breakouts with fixed risk parameters and optional trend filtering.
The strategy focuses on controlled volatility expansion after a defined daily range period.
Strategy Type & Trading Approach
This is a time-based breakout system.
Each trading day:
- The bot defines a range during a specific “Range Hour” (UTC).
- After the range is formed, it waits for price to break above or below it.
- A trade is executed only if the breakout exceeds a defined buffer (Break Buffer in pips).
- Only one position is allowed at a time.
The strategy is mechanical and rule-based — no martingale, no grid, no averaging.
Entry Logic & Execution Behaviour
Buy Trade:
- Price breaks above the defined daily range high
- Breakout exceeds Break Buffer
- Spread must be below Max Spread setting
- Optional: H1 EMA trend filter confirms bullish bias
Sell Trade:
- Price breaks below the defined daily range low
- Breakout exceeds Break Buffer
- Spread filter condition met
- Optional: H1 EMA confirms bearish bias
Orders are placed at market price with fixed Stop Loss and Take Profit in pips.

Recommended Capital Guidelines
The bot uses fixed lot sizing. Proper capital allocation is important for risk control.
Capital & Position Sizing Guidelines
This strategy is designed to scale proportionally with account size:
- $100+ → 0.01 lot
- $500–$1,000 → 0.05–0.10 lot
Increasing lot size without sufficient capital may result in elevated drawdowns.
To maintain long-term stability:
- Apply conservative leverage
- Avoid aggressive position sizing
- Ensure adequate free margin at all times
