Dawnbreak for MT5 – Session Range Breakout on Gold (How It Works)Featured
Dawnbreak is a session range breakout Expert Advisor for MetaTrader 5. Its two main markets are gold (XAUUSD) and the DAX (DE40). It also trades BTCUSD, EURJPY, GBPUSD and US30 as additional markets. It is built for traders who want a simple breakout with a hard stop and who are willing to test it in the Strategy Tester first. It is not a fit if you need a long live track record of Dawnbreak alone, or if you want to run a small account on gold. Past results, in a backtest or on a live account, don't guarantee future results, and trading with an EA can lose money.
The core logic is short. The EA marks the high and low of a fixed morning window. It then places a BuyStop order at the range high and a SellStop order at the range low. The first order to fill wins and the other is deleted. The stop loss sits at the opposite side of the range. There is at most one trade per day and chart, and anything still open is closed in the evening. There is no grid and no martingale.
Dawnbreak is developed by Pitt Petruschke (AlgoVerdict) and sold on Algo Trading Space. The current version is 3.7, released on 17 Oct 2026. It fixes the lot size on some index CFDs.
The developer runs Dawnbreak alone on his own IC Markets account since 7 Nov 2026, and our Account Tracker follows it on this page.
Illustration, not real prices. Past results do not guarantee future results. The adaptive take profit backtest (step 8) is a Python simulation on hourly bars, not the MT5 Strategy Tester; no spread, commission or slippage modelled.
Dawnbreak trades one breakout of a fixed morning range per day and chart, with a stop loss on every trade and no grid or martingale. Its main markets are gold and the DAX, with BTCUSD, EURJPY, GBPUSD and US30 as additions.

The EA measures the high and low of a fixed window in server time.
The EA measures the high and low of a fixed window in server time. After the window closes, it reads the range again from M1 history, so a missed tick cannot distort it. It then places a BuyStop and a SellStop as a one-cancels-other bracket. If only one of the two orders can be placed, the EA withdraws that one too rather than trading one-sided.
Every order has a stop loss.
Every order has a stop loss. By default it sits at the opposite side of the range. The lot size is calculated from the balance and the stop distance and capped at 90% of the free margin. If the calculated lot is below the broker's minimum lot, the EA skips the day instead of rounding up.
There is at most one trade per day and chart.
There is at most one trade per day and chart. The EA registers a fill at once and checks the day's deal history after a restart. Any leftover order is deleted, so a second trade on the same day is not possible.
A trade ends at the stop loss, at the take profit or at the fixed close time in the evening.
A trade ends at the stop loss, at the take profit or at the fixed close time in the evening. The standard sets use no take profit; a second gold set uses the adaptive take profit. As an option, the EA can learn a target: after every breakout it measures how far price ran, and it sets the next target at the average of the last 30 breakouts. Until 30 values are collected, it paper-trades by default and places no orders. According to the developer, that takes six to eight weeks. In the Strategy Tester every run starts without learned values, so with paper trading on, the first 30 breakouts place no trades there.

The two main markets are gold (XAUUSD) and the DAX (DE40). Dawnbreak also trades BTCUSD, EURJPY, GBPUSD and US30 as additional markets. Each market has its own set file and magic number, so several markets can run side by side on one account. The risk then adds up on days when more than one market trades.

Dawnbreak is not for you yet.
Dawnbreak is not for you yet. Its live account is young: the developer has run Dawnbreak alone on his own IC Markets account only since 7 Nov 2026. It is also not for small accounts on gold, or for anyone who treats a backtest return as an expected return.
Dawnbreak does one thing: it trades a breakout of a fixed morning range.

The lot size depends only on the balance and the stop distance, never on the last result. If the minimum lot would risk too much, the EA skips the day. On price gaps, a single loss can still be larger than the 1% in the sets.

Getting Dawnbreak running takes a few steps. The most important one is to load the right set and check your broker's server time.

Attach the EA to a gold chart (XAUUSD) or a DAX chart.
Attach the EA to a gold chart (XAUUSD) or a DAX chart. Some brokers call the DAX GER40 or GDAXI instead of DE40. You need an MT5 account with hedging or netting, and a broker that accepts pending orders with an expiry time. The time windows assume a broker server on UTC+2, or UTC+3 in summer. If your broker uses a different server time, you have to shift the windows yourself. On start, the EA writes its key settings to the log, so a wrongly loaded set is easy to spot.
Load the set for your market: gold or the DAX first, or one of the additional markets.
Load the set for your market: gold or the DAX first, or one of the additional markets. The gold set uses a range window from 03:05 to 06:05 and closes at 18:55. The DAX set uses 07:00 to 11:00 and closes at 20:00. All sets risk 1% of the balance per trade and place the stop at the opposite side of the range. Each set has its own magic number, so gold and the DAX can run side by side on one account. The daily loss limit and the spread filter are switched off in every set. If you want them, switch them on yourself.
The dashboard shows the status, a session timeline, the range and price, today's result, the loss limit, the take profit and recent trades.
The dashboard shows the status, a session timeline, the range and price, today's result, the loss limit, the take profit and recent trades. The chart keeps the ranges of the last 20 trading days with their order levels, and filtered days are marked. The terminal needs a stable connection during the session, which in practice means a VPS. If the terminal or VPS restarts, the EA finds its orders again.
Before going live, run your set in the Strategy Tester with real ticks from your own broker, then on a demo account. Check that the time windows match your broker's server time and that the symbol name is right. Decide on your total risk: gold and the DAX at 1% each can put 2% of the account at risk on the same day, and the EA has no account-wide cap. Switch on the daily loss limit and the spread filter if you want them. Keep in mind that stop orders fill at the next available price on gaps and news, so a single loss can be larger than 1%. When you are ready, buy Dawnbreak here on Algo Trading Space.
Practical answers on markets, risk, capital and setup.
Its two main markets are gold (XAUUSD) and the DAX (DE40, also called GER40 or GDAXI). It also trades BTCUSD, EURJPY, GBPUSD and US30 as additional markets, each with its own set file and magic number.
No. Per day and chart there is one BuyStop and one SellStop. The first to fill wins and the other is deleted. Every order has a stop loss, and the lot size does not depend on the last result.
According to the developer, gold at 1% risk needs about $7,500 or more. With a smaller account, the calculated lot falls below the minimum lot on days with a wide range, and the EA skips those days. Risk adds up across charts: gold and the DAX at 1% each can risk 2% on the same day.
An MT5 account with hedging or netting, a broker that accepts pending orders with an expiry time, and ideally a server time of UTC+2 or UTC+3 in summer. With a different server time, you shift the windows yourself.
As a simulation on one broker's data. Spreads, slippage and commission differ between brokers, and a breakout strategy is sensitive to them. Rerun the set with your own broker's real ticks, then trade it on a demo account. A backtest does not replace a live track record.
Yes, a young one. The developer runs Dawnbreak alone on his own IC Markets account since 7 Nov 2026, and our Account Tracker follows it on this page. Treat it as an early look, not a track record.

Yes. The terminal needs a stable connection during the session, so run Dawnbreak on a VPS. Dawnbreak is restart-safe: after a terminal or VPS restart it finds its orders again and still trades at most once per day.
