How it works

From market to EasyLanguage in four steps.

The research happens in BreakoutOS. The finished strategy lands in TradeStation as EasyLanguage you can verify, backtest and run on a chart.

01Breakout Radar

Pick a market

Breakout Radar scores each session of a market for breakout direction and how long breakouts typically last, so you start where the structure's there.

02Breakout Trading PRO

Build the strategy

Breakout Trading PRO builds and tests breakout strategies for that market, point-and-click, using the Mr Breakouts Formula. Pick the one you want to take further.

03EasyLanguage export

Copy the EasyLanguage

The export writes the strategy as TradeStation EasyLanguage. The header lists the session and timezone settings your chart needs to match.

04TradeStation

Verify it in TradeStation

Paste it into a new strategy in the TradeStation Development Environment and verify it. Add it to a chart, and the Strategy Performance Report shows how it traded.

The proof

What you tested is what you trade.

One strategy, backtested in BreakoutOS, then exported and backtested again on a TradeStation chart. The EasyLanguage export reproduces the BreakoutOS results closely, so the strategy you researched is the one you run.

Same rules

The entry, the exit and the filters you tested in BreakoutOS, written out as EasyLanguage.

Same session times

The code header spells out the session and timezone the strategy was tested on, so the trades land on the same bars.

Differences you can trace

Small gaps can still come from your data, the chart's session settings or the strategy's properties, like commission and slippage. There's a guide inside BreakoutOS for tracking them down.

Bring your own strategy

Common questions

TradeStation questions.

No. BreakoutOS runs in your browser, and there's nothing to add to TradeStation. When a strategy's ready, you copy the EasyLanguage, paste it into a new strategy in TradeStation and verify it.
EasyLanguage strategies run in the TradeStation desktop platform, so that's where you'll use the export. TradeStation's web and mobile apps don't run EasyLanguage strategies.
Yes. Every strategy you build in Breakout Trading PRO exports as an EasyLanguage strategy. Once it's verified, it runs in TradeStation like any other strategy: on a chart, in a backtest, or automated through TradeStation's own strategy settings.
No. You build strategies point-and-click in BreakoutOS, and the export writes the EasyLanguage for you. If you do know EasyLanguage, it's code you can read and change like any strategy you wrote yourself.
Very closely. BreakoutOS has a built-in parity checker, and we've tested thousands of strategies on each platform: every one matched at least 95%, and most match 98-99%. Small differences come from holidays, shortened sessions and platform-specific edge cases, and every strategy builder runs into them. They can also come from your data, the chart's session settings or the strategy's properties, like commission and slippage. The header of every export lists the settings to match, and there's a guide inside BreakoutOS for fixing discrepancies. Results on both sides are hypothetical backtests, not live trading.
Not on its own. A backtest shows how a set of rules would have traded past data, and with enough tweaking almost any rules can look good on history they were tuned on. The Backtest Auditor checks whether there's a real edge underneath: it scores your strategy against a thousand strategies with the same DNA, across nine checks. All results are hypothetical.
Any market you've got price data for. BreakoutOS tests on data you upload as ASCII or CSV. TradeStation traders often start with US stocks or futures like the E-mini S&P 500 (ES) and E-mini Nasdaq-100 (NQ).
BreakoutOS comes with a few sample datasets for testing, including crypto and 60-minute data for NQ, ES, AAPL and EUR/USD. They're for trying things out. For strategies you plan to trade, use the data you'll trade on, from the same source as your TradeStation charts. Data can differ between providers, so testing on the same data is what makes BreakoutOS and TradeStation line up.
Build is for building new breakout strategies. It has Breakout Radar, Market Mapper, Breakout Explorer and Breakout Trading PRO, with EasyLanguage export on every strategy. Scale is for traders who already have strategies, like that folder of EasyLanguage. It adds the Backtest Auditor, Indicator Matcher, MQ Portfolio Builder and Strategy Health Monitor, and includes every Build tool.
Build and Scale are memberships. You'll find the current prices and plans on the BreakoutOS Build and BreakoutOS Scale pages. Access to the TradeStation platform itself is set by TradeStation.
