Illustration of the entry rules, not a real or simulated trade and not a result. Hypothetical or simulated performance results have certain limitations (CFTC Rule 4.41). Read the full notice.
Read this first. This bot has no protective stop. A single trade can lose more than a typical daily loss limit before 3:55 PM ET. Only trade it with money you can afford to lose.
Who it's for
Experienced traders who understand target-only trading and watch their account.
§ 01 How it trades
The rules, in order
- Watches for three 5-minute bars packed into a tight range compared with recent volatility.
- Long when a green bar closes above that range; short when a red bar closes below it.
- Targets 60 points (about $300 per MES contract).
- Last entry at 3:50 PM ET. Any open trade is closed at 3:55 PM ET.
§ 02 Market context
What a coil looks like
Coil Breaker waits for three 5-minute bars packed into a tight range compared with recent volatility. That compression often comes before a larger move. A green bar closing above the coil goes long, and a red bar closing below goes short.
It has a single exit plan: a 60-point target, about $300 per MES contract, or the 3:55 PM ET close. It has no protective stop. That is the most important thing to understand before you run it.
When this setup struggles
- The breakout reverses. With no stop, the loss keeps growing until the target or 3:55 PM ET.
- A slow afternoon where the target never arrives and the trade is closed at the bell.
- Running it on an account with a daily loss limit. A single trade can exceed it.
§ 03 Risk and settings
Risk rules
- No stop loss. A trade exits only at the 60-point target or at 3:55 PM ET.
- One position at a time, and it shares an MES lock with Night Owl so the two never stack.
- No daily loss limit.
Before you turn it on
- Load it on a 5-minute MES chart. MES only.
- It shares an MES lock with Night Owl, so the two never stack on one account.
- There is no daily loss limit and no stop. Watch the account while it trades.
- Last entry is 3:50 PM ET. Any open trade is closed at 3:55 PM ET.
Settings like contracts are adjustable. This bot has no built-in daily loss limit.
§ 04 Questions
Coil Breaker: common questions

Which contract does it trade?
MES (micro S&P 500) only.
Can it run alongside Night Owl?
