Musahi is an expert advisor for MetaTrader 5 that trades breakouts from a daily price range. It marks the high and low of a set time window, places pending orders just beyond those levels, and lets the market decide which side triggers first.
Many markets spend the early part of the session consolidating before they pick a direction. Musahi measures that consolidation over a time window you define, for example a one-hour period in the morning. When the window closes, it places a buy stop above the range high and a sell stop below the range low.
The EA takes at most one trade per direction per day. It is not described as using martingale or position scaling, so each day starts from a clean slate. Because the logic depends on the high and low of a fixed period, it behaves like a support and resistance breakout system with the range edges as the key levels.
The EA is aimed at gold (XAUUSD), USDJPY and BTCUSD. Other instruments that show a consistent intraday range may also be worth testing, but that is your own research to do. Use an intraday chart and compare results in the Strategy Tester across a few timeframes, using tick data of good quality from your broker.
Exact input names and defaults can differ by build, so open the inputs tab and read each one before you trade. The areas below are the ones to review first.
| Area | What to check |
|---|---|
| Range start and end time | These use broker server time, so align them with the session you want to measure. |
| Position size | Fixed lot or risk-based sizing; keep it in line with your account size and loss limit. |
| Stop loss and take profit | Check how exits are set and whether they suit the volatility of each symbol. |
| Order expiry or closing time | Confirm what happens to unfilled orders and open trades at the end of the day. |
| Symbol-specific parameters | Gold, yen pairs and crypto move differently, so settings are rarely interchangeable. |
Breakout systems can suffer false breaks, slippage and wide spreads around news or at the session open. Test on a demo account first, then size positions conservatively. If you use the EA on a prop firm account, check the firm's rules on daily loss, news trading and holding trades.
Trading carries risk, and you can lose some or all of your capital. Backtest results and past performance do not predict future results. This page is not financial advice.
For continuous operation, run the terminal on a VPS and make sure the broker's server time matches the time window you configured.

No. Musahi is written for MetaTrader 5 only and cannot be loaded in MetaTrader 4. You need an MT5 terminal from a broker that offers your chosen instruments.
It is designed around XAUUSD, USDJPY and BTCUSD. It may also suit other instruments that form a clear range at a regular time each day, but you should test any other symbol yourself before using it on a live account. Check that your broker's symbol names match what you attach the EA to.
Yes, it is described as compatible with both account types. Because it takes at most one trade per direction per day, the account mode matters less than with strategies that stack positions, but you should still run a demo test on your own broker.
Start with the time window that defines the range, because it depends on your broker's server time. Then review position sizing, stop and target handling, and any trading-day or spread filters the inputs offer. Defaults are not guaranteed to suit every market or broker.
Copy the EA file into the Experts folder via File, Open Data Folder, MQL5, Experts in MT5, then restart the terminal or refresh the Navigator. Drag it onto a chart, enable algo trading and allow automated trading in the EA's properties.
Test on a demo account first. Trading carries risk, and backtests or past results do not predict future ones. Make sure you understand the logic and the risk per trade before using real funds.
