  you mean that you don’t want it to enter, get stopped out, and then enter again in the same candle? For that you can use Mauro’s code.

  Here is my version, built with my capabilities. Not as filigree as the nonethless version. But similar overall result. Let’s see which one looks better in a month?

  Some additional things are built in:
  1 trade per H4 bar
  red / green candle separated
  Fridays with profit from the market
  EMA15 used (“typicalprice” is important here)
  Significantly smaller stop loss for less risk
  WF until May, from then on it’s OOS

  I get the best results in the M5 with a simple breakeven. But I can’t get rid of the drawdown in September. Maybe there is still a good filter against it?
  The result does not really improve with trailing stoploss.
  Are there any suggestions for solutions or improvements? Anyway, it seems to be worth it.

  v4.4T is cumulative orders = true

  this one says v3 but it’s the same as v2 above, cumulative orders false

  @nonethless Sure, your result looks better. I’m not a master either. It’s also not about measuring yourself against each other. But to come to a similar goal in several ways. I took the route with a small stop loss and a lot of small wins. Unfortunately without a trailing stop. You the way with a big SL. No idea which variant is more robust. But we are struggling with the same problematic market phases. September … do you have an idea?

  sorry if that came across as ‘competitive’ – I’m really not 😎

  I wouldn’t give september a second thought. I took some losses too, but look what followed – a five week bull run. I’ve gained more in just the past week than whatever I lost in September. That’s just the way it goes. Gotta keep one eye on the bigger picture.

  And yes, no reason your breakout idea shouldn’t work elsewhere – DAX, DJ, SP …

  Rules are cumulative orders = false?

  All right, I am grateful for your help. I have been trading such breakouts manually for a long time. And it’s good to know that it also works automatically. I let the Algos run in demo for 4 weeks and then maybe you can try a live version.
