Description
This bot is useful in breakouts, handling fake breakouts and reducing risk exposure.
Instead of risking 100 pips to make 100 pips, its better to risk 10 pips 10 times if you know the price is going to move significantly away from your entry, for example the break change of a trading session or a technical breakout.
Characteristics
- It can handle both long and short and it displays the number of tries and total profit from all trades.
- Can work on a single side (only buy/sell on breakout)
- Can work as an OCO, this means whichever side triggers first will remain until there's profit or the numbers or meets the number of attemps, example:
- Buy Stop Executed, so the sell stop will be closed and the bot will work with buy orders only.
- Without an OCO, the sell stop order would remain, and the bot will stop until there's a profit or meets the number of attemps.
- Can work with multiple instances simultaneously.
- Can work as a martingale with parameter ("Increment Volume each # of times") example:
- Parameter is 3, so bot will double position size each time it has 3 losses in a row.
- Parameter is 1, bot will double position size after each loss.
- This feature can be disabled.

Tips on how to use it
- This is not a standalone system, it's only a bot to increase your opportunities and potential profit in definite market conditions.
- Use a small stop loss.
- Know the breakout range according to your technical perspective.
- This is a bot for when market changes from choppy to trending.
- Set a realistic TP and number of attemps.
- Be careful since this is a martingale
- Breakouts or volatile scenarios may cause slippage, wide spreads, nothing can be done about it, include it in yorur trading plan.
- Safe stops in case settings are not correct
- Stop losses must not be greater than the width of the breakout band, if there's only one direction (long or short) on your settings, this won't matter.
- Ask price must be smaller than your long entry price.
- Bid price must be bigger than your short entry price.
- If there's an error while placing an order, the bot will stop and display such error on the log.

I've decided to rebuild the bot from the ground up.
Removed limit orders since this is mainly a breakout bot, last version was flawed in that aspect and confusing for users, will create another bot apart for limit orders.
In case there's a bug, error or suggestion, please write to: waxavi@outlook.com
If you want a custom bot made from this or any other type of strategy/indicator, my services are available on freelancer.

I've just uploaded this bot after a long time, rebuilt it from scratch, old bugs reported are gone.
Made it breakout only, will build another bot for limit orders instead so it's easier for users.
I hope it's useful for the CTDN community.
Best Regards,
Please, did someone download the CBOT without any problems? I wish I had the cbot! can anybody help me?
did anyone fix the bugs on the bot?
Dear Waxy,
thanks a lot for good job !
I think you should have a look to:
//FirstExecute Order - the Stop Mode
if (Symbol.Ask <= _LongPrice && _LongX == 0 && _LCurrentTries < _MaxTries && !_LModeL)
ExecuteMarketOrder(TradeType.Buy, Symbol, _LVolume, _LLabel, SLoss, TakeProfit);........
should be: PlaceStopOrder(TradeType.Buy, Symbol, _SVolume, _LongPrice, _SLabel, SLoss, TakeProfit);
//Execute Order - Limit Mode
if (Symbol.Ask >= _LongPrice && _LongLX == 0 && _LCurrentTries < _MaxTries && _LModeL)
{
PlaceLimitOrder(TradeType.Buy, Symbol, _LVolume, _LongPrice, _LLabel, SLoss, TakeProfit);
...........
and so with the Sell mode
Hello ThePhantomRaven
My fault for not checking this out, didn't know you don't receive email notifications for these posts.
I'll check this out and fix it as soon as I can.
And the last part of that line
//Limit Mode
if (Symbol.Bid <= _ShortPrice && _ShortLX == 0 && _SCurrentTries < _MaxTries && !_LModeS)
Should not contain !.
I think this is the cause of bug where multiple sell orders are placed at once. Because if price was higher than sell start level the limit mode would be false, thus resulting in all the limit orders executing at once.
I'm sorry my mistake again.
I just realized long stop order script places a market order not pending order so original script was correct.
Which means the mistake is on the short limit mode.
//Limit Mode
if (Symbol.Bid >= _ShortPrice && _ShortLX == 0 && _SCurrentTries < _MaxTries && !_LModeS)
Symbol bid should be smaller than short start level for limit order.
Maybe this explains the bug I experienced where the bot placed multiple sell orders all at once where current price was higher than the sell start price.
Is there way to delete my past post because it is getting confusing.
My mistake about the post.
190 //Execute Order - Limit Mode
191 if (Symbol.Ask >= _LongPrice && _LongLX == 0 && _LCurrentTries < _MaxTries && _LModeL)
I think that should be (Symbol.Ask <= _LongPrice
but I think
//Execute Order - First the Stop Mode
if (Symbol.Ask >= _LongPrice && _LongX == 0 && _LCurrentTries < _MaxTries && !_LModeL)
should be (Symbol.Ask <= _LongPrice
Another problem (not a bug with the bot but how the pending order works) is when the order is placed and the spread becomes bigger than the stop loss during news release, order will be placed without stop loss.
I think there is a code where if the current opened position is bigger than certain pips then the order will be closed.
But I am very new to programming so I don't know how to apply it to your bot.
I will post the code if I figure it out.
Something like this
protected override void OnTick()
foreach (var position in Positions)
{
if (position.Pips < SLoss)
{
ClosePosition(position);
190 //Execute Order - Limit Mode
191 if (Symbol.Ask >= _LongPrice && _LongLX == 0 && _LCurrentTries < _MaxTries && _LModeL)
I think that should be (Symbol.Ask <= _LongPrice
There is also a bug where it repeatedly places all the orders up to specified number in Max orders.
This happened when I placed Stop orders for both buy and sell together at the same time.
Sell stop was placed about 50 pips below, but it activated at the current price.
At the time I have set the max orders to 5 times and all 5 was placed at once.
Well let me clarify, Short Star Level Parameter is the entry level for the sell orders.
The updated version will work for both limit and stop orders and I'll add an OCO Mode.
yes thank you it works.
if [Parameter ("Short Start Level" DefaultValue = 2.0)]
thank you again
It only works for stop orders, maybe you're placing a short price above current level?
I can make it optional to work as limit order as well.
Hello
I've tested the bot and the sell orders are executed according to the rules, please be more specific about the bug?
Thank you
hello
thank you for the code.
I have noticed that sell order does not.
you can watch...?.
cordially
HI can i use it with Indices? can you switch from VOlume to Lot?
