Pivot Breakout EA MT5

Six selectable strategies for gold pivot breakouts

Pivot Breakout EA MT5 trades XAUUSD on M30 when price breaks predefined pivot levels. Vladimir Lekhovitser’s rule-based system contains six individually switchable strategies, with predefined stop losses, breakeven protection and trailing exits. It does not rely on a neural-network prediction engine.

The developer recommends the default strategy combination. Strategies 2 and 3 are disabled by default because they carry higher risk; enabling every strategy is not automatically a better configuration. Trading depends on valid breakouts, so quiet sessions and clustered opportunities are both possible.

• Six independent switches: choose which pivot-breakout components can open trades.
• Protected orders: predefined stops, breakeven and trailing management are part of the advertised design.
• Entry filters: time and economic-news controls restrict new trading opportunities.
• Flexible sizing: fixed lots or automatic sizing based on account balance or equity, as described in the linked shared guide.
• Defined strategy approach: the developer states that it avoids grid, martingale and averaging.

Configuration and account requirements

Market and chart

XAUUSD on the M30 chart in MetaTrader 5.

Account mode

Hedging. The listing includes Standard, ECN, Raw, Cent and Micro account types; check your broker’s gold contract and symbol.

Developer starting guidance

Minimum deposit 500 USD and leverage of at least 1:30. Required margin depends on leverage, contract size and simultaneous exposure.

Strategy selection

Six components; higher-risk strategies 2 and 3 are off by default.

Position and order counts

The developer reports up to five simultaneous trades and 21 pending orders during historical testing. These are different order types, not 21 filled positions or a guaranteed future cap.

Lot calculation

Risk Level is lot volume per 1,000 USD of capital in the shared guide, not a percentage loss per trade.

Before enabling automatic sizing, inspect the resulting lot size, stop distance and combined cash exposure on your broker. The listing’s expected-drawdown examples are historical expectations, not loss ceilings. Check broker server time for the time/news filters; the linked guide says news pauses block new entries rather than closing existing positions.

Original historical results and current signal

The fixed-lot report shows 1,030 trades, profit factor 5.37 and 2.59% relative equity drawdown over January 2025–September 2026. It uses Every tick modeling with ideal execution. These are developer-supplied historical results; live spreads, slippage and fills can differ.

The developer also links a real-account MQL5 signal. At the October 1 check it contained 161 trades, but public monitoring began on September 16, later than the displayed 15-week account history. MQL5 warns of high negative-slippage risk when copying its short-duration trades. The Pivot Breakout review examines the signal, backtests and sizing controls, including the linked guides’ differing descriptions of account loss protection.

Other strategies from Vladimir Lekhovitser

We also list Zerqon EA MT5, Mavrik Scalper EA MT5 and Loophole EA MT5. Mavrik is a separate M5 gold strategy; Loophole uses a different NZDCAD averaging approach. Compare the Mavrik Scalper signal and setup review before choosing between them. Sharing a developer does not make the strategies or their histories interchangeable.
