Step 3: Understand the Logic [1 Min]
The logic is simple:
Every day at 2 AM, the EA checks for an inside bar (yesterday's high < the day before's high, and yesterday's low > the day before's low).
If an inside bar forms, it places pending orders around the breakout range.
Trades run on the daily timeframe, giving stability and avoiding lower-timeframe noise.
This setup wins only about one-third of trades — but the average winner is 3x the size of a loser. By cutting losses early and letting winners run, the system maintains profitability with a smooth equity curve.
How It Works in Profectus.AI
Time Check Block → Runs only Mon–Fri, starting at 2:00 AM.
Inside Bar Block → Confirms candle structure (yesterday inside the range of the day before).
Risk Control Block → Caps open/pending orders at 5 to avoid overexposure.
Buy/Sell Pending Orders → Placed at breakout levels.
Management Block → Lets trades run with a 1:3 risk-reward by default.
Step 4: Make It Your Own [10 Min]
You can tweak this system inside Profectus.AI in minutes:
Change the timeframe
Daily is most stable, but try 4H or Weekly.
Run a backtest in Profectus to see how noise vs. trend affects outcomes, then compare the runs in the Backtests panel.
Adjust the risk model
Default = fixed lot. Try % of balance or ATR-based stop loss.
Backtest in Profectus and compare different drawdown profiles in the Backtests panel.
Modify exit logic
Stick with the default 1:3 R:R, or reel in profits earlier at 1:1 / 1:2.
Backtest in Profectus to test which curve feels safer for you, then compare the runs in the Backtests panel.
Add filters
Layer a Moving Average trend filter to avoid breakouts against the trend.
Run a backtest in Profectus to see if false breakouts reduce, then compare the runs in the Backtests panel.
