AW BREAKOUT CATCHER Instruction and description

06/10/2021

AW Breakout Catcher offers price level trades, advanced statistics, TakeProfit and StopLoss calculations.

The advanced algorithm of the indicator determines the most successful entry points, the indicator signals are recorded in the statistical module, which allows you to select the most suitable instruments based on the effectiveness of the breakout history.

The indicator detects the most powerful level breakouts and calculates StopLoss and TakeProfit marks.


Description of the indicator strategy:

How to sell

    • Step 1 - Received a buy signal with a signal success rate greater than or equal to 70%


  • Step 2 - Select StopLoss mode: by the opposite signal, or dynamic StopLoss


The "StopLoss Mode" variable is located in the input settings in the "MAIN SETTINGS" section

    • Step 3 - Choose Your Take Profit Strategy

Strategy 1:

Close the entire position upon reaching TP1

Strategy 2:

Close 50% of the position upon reaching TP1 and the remaining 50% upon reaching TP2:


Strategy 3:

Close the entire position when an opposite signal arrives:


How to buy

    • Step 1 - Signals success rate over 70%


    • Step 2 - Select SL mode: on the opposite signal, or dynamic StopLoss

The "StopLoss mode" variable is located in the input settings in the "MAIN SETTINGS" section



    • Step 3 - Choose your TakeProfit strategy

Strategy 1:

Close the entire position upon reaching TP1


Strategy 2:

Close 50% of the position upon reaching TP1 and the remaining 50% upon reaching TP2:



Strategy 3:

Close the whole position when the opposite signal arrives:


Setting options

Classic setting option:

    • Range Filter = 1.0
    • Amplitude = 5
    • TakeProfits target - 1.0 - 1.5
    • StopLoss Mode = SL at opposite signal

Scalping setup option:

    • Range Filter = 1.5 - 2.0
    • Amplitude = 5
    • TakeProfits target - 1.5
    • StopLoss Mode = Any Option

Daily setting option:

    • Range Filtering = 1.0
    • Amplitude = 10
    • TakeProfits target - 2.0 - 2.5
    • StopLoss Mode = Any Option


Features of the indicator

  • Dynamic StopLoss  

Using dynamic StopLoss will help reduce risks

To do this, select the "Dynamic StopLoss" parameter in the "StopLoss Mode" variable


The "StopLoss mode" variable is located in the input settings in the "MAIN SETTINGS" section


  • StopLoss at opposite signal  

Best used to filter out market noise and prevent market surges

To do this, select the " SL at opposite signal " parameter in the "StopLoss Mode" variable


The "StopLoss mode" variable is located in the input settings in the "MAIN SETTINGS" section

  • Range Filtering and Amplitude

For different instruments it is necessary to use different "Range filtering" and "Amplitude" values. It depends on the volatility of the instrument used.

Variables "Range Filtering" and "Amplitude" are located in the input settings in the section "MAIN SETTINGS"

The image below shows an example of a highly ranked graph. In this regard, on this chart, there is a large number of low-quality signals and, accordingly, a low signal success rating.


In order to improve the quality of signals, it is necessary to increase the value of the variable   "Range filtering" and "Amplitude".

The higher the value of the "Range filtering" and "Amplitude" variables, the higher the accuracy of the signals, but their number is less.

However, the lower the value of the "Range filtering" and "Amplitude" variables, the greater the number of signals, but the lower the accuracy.


  • TakeProfits target

Adjust the value of the variable in order to increase or decrease TakeProfit.

The smaller the value in the variable  "TakeProfits target"   the closer TakeProfit to the position opening price, the higher the value in this variable, the further TakeProfit from the opening price.

The "TakeProfits target" variable is located in the input settings in the "MAIN SETTINGS" section


AW Breakouts Dashboard is a great addition to the indicator AW Breakout Catcher, which will expand your trading opportunities.


Intuitive panel interface:

    • Orange cells - Downward trend
    • Blue cells - Upward trend
    • Orange cells in a frame - Sell signal
    • Blue cells in a frame - Buy signal
    • The numbers inside the cell - Success rating
    • Black numbers - Success rate> = 70%. You can trade this instrument at the moment.
    • Gray numbers - Success rate <70%. You shouldn't trade this instrument at the moment.

AW Breakouts Dashboard can be minimized in one click. With the help of simple settings, you can connect any order of any timeframes, as well as select any symbols. That is your AW Breakouts Dashboard can display the trend simultaneously on 135 different charts. The panel is suitable for all types of instruments.


AW Breakouts Dashboard supports various types of notifications such as Alerts, Email Notifications, and Smartphone or Tablet Push Notifications


How to trade with AW Breakouts Dashboard

Step 1 - Timeframe selection.

You can use any timeframe for work.

For instance:

  • M15 - If you prefer a scoping strategy,
  • H1 - More suitable for those who use classic day trading,
  • D1 - Suitable for those who prefer long-term trading.

Step 2 - Selecting a trading instrument.

You can use any tools for the job.

  • Choose tools with a high success rate. I recommend using a success rate of at least 70%.

For instance:

  • If the success rate of signals on any instrument is less than 70%, then it is better not to use this instrument, but to find a more successful trading instrument.

Step 3 - Selecting a trading instrument using the panel

You can choose the best pairs that have the highest signal success rate.

We have prepared sample buffers for connecting the indicator to Expert Advisors.
