Outbreak is an automated expert advisor for MetaTrader 5 that looks for breakout moves on EURUSD. It places trades on its own, protects each one with a stop loss and is set up to run on the M5 chart without much manual work.
The expert watches price for breakouts and opens a trade when it sees one. It keeps a single order open at a time, and each order carries a stop loss. According to the developer, trades are usually short and are closed within the same day, and several can occur on a busy day.
Most of the time it behaves like a scalper and takes small gains from short price moves. In some conditions the logic switches the scalping exit off and lets a trade run towards its take profit level. The developer also states that it does not rely on martingale or grid averaging. Check the live signal and the product page to see how it behaves before you decide.
Execution quality matters for short-term trading. A broker with low spreads and clean order handling, such as an ECN-style account, usually suits this kind of expert better.
The inputs are few. Confirm the default values in your own terminal, since the broker's symbol and server time can differ.
| Input | Purpose |
|---|---|
| SetUTC | Time zone offset of the broker server. The default suits many brokers, but check yours. |
| Auto_Moneymanage | Turns automatic lot sizing on or off. |
| MiniLots | Lets automatic sizing move in steps of 0.01 lot. |
| MaximumRisk | Percentage of free margin put at risk per trade when automatic sizing is on. |
| Lots | Fixed lot size used when automatic sizing is off. |
| StopLossBuy / StopLossSell | Stop loss distance in points for buy and sell trades. |
| TakeProfitBuy / TakeProfitSell | Take profit distance in points for buy and sell trades. |
| LastTradeDayDec | Last day in December on which new trades are allowed, to avoid thin year-end markets. |
Stop loss values are the inputs most worth reviewing if your broker has wider spreads or more volatile quotes. Take profit values matter less, because the scalping exit changes with market conditions.
Position size has a large effect on drawdown. Decide how much of your equity you accept losing per trade, then set MaximumRisk or Lots accordingly. Start with a demo account or a very small size.
Trading carries risk, and you can lose some or all of your capital. Backtests and signal histories describe the past only, and past results do not predict future ones.

This version is for MetaTrader 5. It will not load in MetaTrader 4. Your MT5 account must also be a hedging type, because the expert can occasionally hold positions in both directions.
The default inputs are designed for EURUSD on the M5 chart. Attach it to that chart first. If you want to try other symbols or timeframes, test them in the Strategy Tester and on a demo account before using real money.
The developer states the expert works with its defaults. You can still adjust the stop loss distances if your broker has wider spreads or more volatile pricing than usual. Treat any optimisation cautiously, since settings that fit past data may not hold later.
It is designed to monitor the market around the clock, so a VPS or a computer that stays on and connected is advisable. A very fast connection is not a priority, but a stable one is.
That depends on your risk tolerance and broker conditions. With automatic money management on, lot size follows the MaximumRisk input. Check the product page for the developer's suggested minimum deposit, and test on a demo account first.
Most brokers offering MT5 hedging accounts can work, but execution quality matters for short-term trading. Low spreads and reliable fills help. Confirm the symbol name and the broker's time zone before you start.
