Apex Break EA is an automated expert advisor for MetaTrader 5 that trades breakouts from a daily price range. You choose the time window used to build the range, and the EA then places orders beyond its high and low, with optional trend and news filters to reduce the number of trades it takes.
Each day the EA measures the high and low of the price during the range window you define. Once the window ends, it can place a pair of breakout orders, one above the range for a buy and one below for a sell. Unfilled pending orders are removed at a time you set, and open positions can optionally be closed at a set time.
Take profit and stop loss are expressed as multiples of the day's range, so distances adapt to current volatility instead of using fixed pip values. Lot size is calculated from the stop distance so that a stop-out loses roughly the percentage of balance you choose. A small buffer can be added to the entry price only; it does not move the stop loss.
If price has already moved beyond the breakout level when the orders are placed, for example because the EA was started late, it uses a limit order and waits for a pullback instead of entering at the current price.
The EA is not tied to one symbol. It suits instruments that form a recognisable range during part of the day. The timeframe used to measure the range is an input. Range times follow your broker's server time, so check the offset before choosing hours.
| Group | What you can control |
|---|---|
| Risk, target and stop | Percentage of balance risked, target and stop multiples, entry buffer |
| Time | Range start and end, pending order deletion time, optional closing time |
| Trading frequency | Daily limits for buys, sells and total trades, optional re-entry |
| Range filter | Minimum and maximum range in points |
| Trend filter | On or off, moving average period and method, no-trend handling |
| News filter | Currencies, minutes before and after, calendar and web feed options |
| Alerts | Popup, sound and push notifications on open and close |
Default values are only a starting point. Check them for your symbol, broker and server time rather than assuming they fit.
Trading carries risk and you can lose more than you expect. Past and tested results do not predict future ones. Test on several symbols and periods, then run on a demo account before using real funds.
Breakout systems can suffer from false breaks, slippage and wider spreads around news. Percentage-based sizing limits the loss on a single trade but does not remove risk.

This listing is for MetaTrader 5. It uses MT5 features such as the built-in Economic Calendar, so it should be installed in an MT5 terminal and not in MT4.
In MT5 choose File, then Open Data Folder, and go to MQL5 and then Experts. Copy the extracted expert advisor file there, refresh the Navigator panel or restart the terminal, then drag the EA onto a chart and make sure Algo Trading is switched on.
The filter based on the MT5 Economic Calendar can work in tests, but only if your broker supplies calendar data. The optional web feed only applies to live and demo trading and has no effect in backtests. Check your own terminal before relying on test results.
There is no single correct set. The range window, target and stop multiples, and range limits depend on the symbol, broker server time and market conditions. Test across several symbols and periods and validate on a demo account before trading real money.
No. The web feed is optional. If you use it, MT5 requires the feed address to be added to the allowed WebRequest list under Tools, Options, Expert Advisors.
No. Trading carries risk, you can lose money, and past or tested results do not predict future ones.
