Breakout Miner is a free, built-in trading bot for the FIX API Terminal, designed to trade high-probability breakouts in Gold (XAUUSD), US30, and DAX (DE40), with included set files.
Gold is known for its sharp impulses, volatility expansions, and session-driven moves. This bot focuses on identifying clean price breakouts from structured ranges, enabling traders to participate in strong directional moves while maintaining disciplined risk control.
Breakout Miner is provided free of charge to demonstrate how professional breakout strategies operate at the FIX execution level.
⚡ Core Trading Concept
Breakout Miner trades breakouts, not reversals.
The algorithm:
- builds a dynamic price channel based on recent market extremes,
- applies a configurable offset (Delta) to filter noise,
- waits for the price to leave the channel with confirmation,
- enters trades only after a real breakout is detected.
Trading logic:
- BUY → when price breaks above the upper channel boundary
- SELL → when price breaks below the lower channel boundary
The bot does not anticipate breakouts — it reacts only after price confirms strength.
📐 Adaptive Channel Detection
The breakout channel is calculated automatically using:
- recent High / Low structure,
- a predefined number of bars,
- an additional Delta buffer to avoid false signals.
Once built, the channel:
- remains fixed for the trading session,
- is clearly displayed on the chart,
- serves as the reference point for all trades.
This creates clear, rule-based entries with no ambiguity.
⏱ Session-Based Trading Logic
Breakout Miner operates only during defined trading hours, aligned with periods of higher liquidity and volatility in the gold and indices markets.
Features include:
- configurable session start and end times,
- special handling for different trading days,
- automatic position closure at session end.
This keeps exposure controlled and avoids unpredictable off-session behavior.
🛡 Professional Risk Management
Every trade is protected by:
- predefined Stop Loss and Take Profit levels,
- optional trailing stop is activated only after profit,
- strict limits on trade frequency,
- no martingale, no grid, no averaging.
The strategy focuses on quality breakouts, not trade quantity.
