Hi RR, Thanks for this EA, but I am trying to backtest a strategy with this and have not seen where the GMT adjustment setting is on the EA to account for the broker's server timings?

DislikedLooks like you set SignalsOnly to true.
When SignalsOnly is true, the EA won't place a trade. It will only alert you to a trade opportunity.Ignored

I found the following bug in the Breakout EA.
iHighest() and iLowest() calls should use "MODE_HIGH" and "MODE_LOW" instead of "PRICE_HIGH" and "PRICE_LOW".
This makes the breakout range based on "highest HIGH" (ok, "by chance" MODE_HIGH=PRICE_HIGH=2).
But the other end is "lowest CLOSE" (PRICE_HIGH=MODE_CLOSE=3...).
It is quite a frequent error in EAs... and quite hard to spot too... bi have struggled long enough once on this issue in one of my EAs to get used to them!
Unfortunately "PRICE_LOW"...Ignored
