London Breakout Indicator V1.0 MT4 – Capture Early Market Moves with Precision

Tired of missing those explosive early-morning moves right when the London market kicks in? You’re not alone. The London Breakout Indicator V1.0 MT4 is built precisely for traders like you who want to capitalize on high-volatility sessions without staying glued to the screen all night. This indicator, available exclusively on ForexFactory.cc, highlights the Asian session range and plots exact breakout levels for the London open — giving you a sharp visual cue of where price is most likely to make its move.

In the world of forex trading, timing is everything. The London session (around 3 AM to 11 AM GMT) is where the majority of daily trading volume takes place. Prices move fast, spreads tighten, and opportunities appear and vanish within minutes. That’s where the London Breakout Indicator V1.0 MT4 shines — it provides a well-defined box around the Asian session range, indicating potential breakout points as London opens.

This indicator was developed and tested by YoForex, the brand behind multiple verified and back-tested forex tools. Whether you’re a scalper, day trader, or even a swing trader looking for early directional bias, this tool adapts effortlessly to your trading style.

Backtest & Live Results

The London Breakout Indicator V1.0 MT4 was tested by YoForex analysts over a 6-month backtesting period (January to June 2025). During this time, traders simulated over 100 breakout setups using this indicator across EURUSD, GBPUSD, and XAUUSD (Gold) on M15 and M30 charts.

The live test showed that by focusing only on one or two key pairs (like GBPUSD or EURUSD) and combining the indicator with basic price action confirmations, traders could easily catch 20–40 pips per breakout day — which adds up quickly over a month.

Installation & Setup

Setting up the London Breakout Indicator V1.0 MT4 is super simple — even if you’re totally new to MetaTrader.

Step 1:
Download the indicator from ForexFactory.cc.

Step 2:
Once downloaded, open your MetaTrader 4 (MT4) terminal.

Step 3:
Go to File → Open Data Folder → MQL4 → Indicators.
Copy and paste the LondonBreakoutV1.0.ex4 file into that folder.

Step 4:
Restart your MT4 terminal.

Step 5:
In the Navigator Panel, drag the London Breakout Indicator onto your desired chart (preferably M15 or M30).

Step 6:
Adjust the Asian session time window according to your broker (e.g., 23:00 – 07:00 GMT).

Step 7:
Enable alerts if desired, and you’re ready to go.

Pro Tip: Use it alongside YoForex’s Trend Confirmation Indicator or Volume Strength Meter to filter false breakouts and confirm direction before entry.

How It Works

Here’s a quick rundown of what happens behind the scenes:

Asian Session Mapping: The indicator marks the high and low of the Asian trading session.

Pre-London Preparation: As London’s opening time approaches, the indicator calculates breakout thresholds.

Breakout Signals: If price crosses above or below the predefined box, you’ll get a visual signal and (optionally) an alert.

Trade Entry Zone: You can place pending orders just outside the Asian range — typically 5–10 pips away.

Target & Stop Loss: YoForex suggests setting TP around 20–40 pips and SL near the opposite end of the range.

This simple yet powerful logic is why the London Breakout method has been used by professional traders for over a decade — now automated and visualized perfectly with this tool.
