Manual Breakout

The Breakout option is best used with the Enter Long and Enter Short manual entry buttons. It's used to quickly 'arm' a trade — it enters as soon as price breaks above/below the previous bar's price (or closes above/below), depending on your configuration.

Long Entry

• To enter Long with the Breakout option selected, the current price must go above the previous bar's High.
• Combine with On Bar Close → only enters if the bar closes above the previous bar's High.
• Combine with Buy Up / Sell Down → the bar must also close as a green candle.

Short Entry

• To enter Short with the Breakout option selected, the current price must go below the previous bar's Low.
• Combine with On Bar Close → only enters if the bar closes below the previous bar's Low.
• Combine with Buy Up / Sell Down → the bar must also close as a red candle.
