Array Breakout 3.04 — the short guide

Four steps to install

• Attach Array Breakout to a gold H1 chart (any symbol name: it is identified from the symbol's own currencies)
• Leave the defaults as they are
• Switch on Algo Trading — you may attach it with the button still off; it places its orders the moment you switch it on
• Check the panel and the first line of the Experts tab for version 3.04

The account must be a hedging account on MetaTrader 5. 1:500 leverage on gold is strongly recommended; lower works, but every rung of the ladder then needs proportionally more money.

Remove the EA whenever you like: it withdraws every pending order of its own in well under a second, and open trades keep their SL/TP for you to decide.

Capital and the ladder

The balance in the account decides how many strategies run. There is no list to pick from.

• 200 USD — 3 strategies
• 300 USD — 6 strategies
• 500 USD — all 19 strategies (the minimum)
• 1,000 USD — the whole team with a cushion for the deep stretches (recommended)

Cent accounts ×100; a broker with a 0.001 lot ÷10. You never have to add money: profit reaching the next rung unlocks it the same way.

500 USD opens the whole team with no cushion. For a calmer curve, start with more capital than the rung needs, or with fewer strategies open.

What running it looks like

In the run this site is evidenced by, the team traded about 97 times a month across 186–221 trading days a year. Quiet days with no trade at all are normal.

This is a breakout system: it earns in trending months and gives some of it back in range months. Losing stretches are real — in 2023 the balance fell 557 USD below its peak at 0.01 lot, more than half of a 1,000 USD account, before the year ended in profit.

• Every trade carries a stop loss from the first second, a take profit and a trailing stop
• Entries are pending stop orders, so the history shows many cancelled orders — that is the mechanism, not an error
• Always test on a demo account first, and judge it over a quarter rather than a week

Around the big announcements

Array Breakout stops placing new orders around the big releases that move gold, by itself. Nothing to set. Trades already open are not closed — they run to their own SL/TP. On a live account it reads the MetaTrader calendar directly, at any broker.
