Breakout monster

The Expert Advisor is designed for trading XAUUSD (GOLD), but it showed good results on currency pairs too!

The EA trades based on the extremum breakouts of the standard ZigZag. The actual extremums are determined according to the proprietary method. The EA has highly customizable settings, which are suitable both for aggressive and for conservative trading. The wide range of settings covers many aspects from sending email messages and pudh-notifications to risk calculation method (based on balance, free margin, etc).

Every deal is protected by stop orders. You can use trailing stop, if necessary.

Gamblers or risky traders can use the integrated "Recover Losses" feature - somewhat "safe" Martingale, which can be customized to fit the trading style or completely disabled.

It is also possible to configure the EA trading hours, set the maximum allowed spread and the minimum distance between the extremums.
