Automating Trading Strategies in MQL5 (Part 2): The Kumo Breakout System with Ichimoku and Awesome Oscillator

Automating Trading Strategies in MQL5 (Part 2): The Kumo Breakout System with Ichimoku and Awesome Oscillator

In the previous article (Part 1 of the series) we demonstrated how to automate the Profitunity System (Trading Chaos by Will Williams). In this article (Part 2), we demonstrate how to transform the Kumo Breakout Strategy into a fully functional Expert Advisor (EA) in MetaQuotes Language 5 (MQL5). The Kumo Breakout Strategy uses the Ichimoku Kinko Hyo indicator to identify potential market reversals and trend continuations, with price movements relative to the Kumo (cloud)—a dynamic support and resistance zone formed by the Senkou Span A and Senkou Span B lines. By incorporating the Awesome Oscillator indicator as a trend confirmation tool, we can filter out false signals and increase the accuracy of trade entries and exits. This strategy is widely used by traders looking to capitalize on strong momentum-driven market movements.

In this article, we create an Expert Advisor (EA) that automates the Kumo Breakout strategy using the Ichimoku Kinko Hyo indicator and the Awesome Oscillator. We walk through the process of initializing indicator handles, detecting breakout conditions, and coding automated trade entries and exits. Additionally, we implement trailing stops and position management logic to enhance the EA's performance and adaptability to market conditions.
