Weekly Breakout Forex expert advisor opens positions in the direction of a breakout from a previous week's range. It uses the Low of the previous week as the stop-loss for its buy orders, and it uses High of the previous week as the stop-loss level for its sell orders. If the new week starts within the previous week's trading range, the EA uses two pending stop orders to implement its strategy. They will expire at the end of the week if not triggered. If the week starts outside the previous week's range (there was a weekend gap in price), the expert advisor will buy or sell the currency pair immediately and will also set up a pending order for the opposite trade. Weekly Breakout does not use take-profit level. If stop-loss is not triggered during the week, the position is closed when the next week starts.
The expert advisor is available for both MT4 and MT5.
