Fractal Breakout EA V1.0 MT5 – Precision Breakout Trading with Dynamic Risk Control


Introduction


Breakout trading can be a powerful strategy, but it requires precision. The market can behave erratically, especially during high-volatility breakout conditions. A wrong entry can lead to significant losses.


Enter the Fractal Breakout EA V1.0 MT5 — an advanced, fractal-based breakout system designed to spot high-probability breakout opportunities. With automatic stop loss (SL) and take profit (TP) calculations, multi-entry logic, and dynamic stop loss updates, this EA is built for disciplined, systematic trading.


This EA is optimized for XAUUSD (Gold) on the H4 timeframe and works well on major forex pairs. It also includes flexible money management options, such as martingale with a multiplier cap, for those who want to increase trade sizes strategically.


Available free at ForexFactory.cc, Fractal Breakout EA gives traders a powerful yet flexible tool to capture breakout opportunities with built-in risk management.
