Overview of the 3 Tier London Breakout Indicator
The 3 Tier London Breakout V3.3b Indicator MT4 is a dynamic tool designed specifically for the London trading session. It uses three layered breakout bands to capture early momentum, mid-session swings, and late-session exhaustion moves. By stacking these tiers, you get multi-level confirmation—no more false breakouts triggering you prematurely.
- Tier 1 flags the very first push above or below pre-session highs and lows.
- Tier 2 refines the move, confirming sustained momentum.
- Tier 3 catches the final thrust when other traders start piling in.
This structure helps you filter noise and stay in only the strongest breaks.
Key Features

- Configurable Session Times: Set custom London open/close hours to fit your broker’s server time.
- Visual Alerts & Notifications: On-screen pop-ups, email pings, and MT4 mobile alerts keep you posted.

- No Hidden Martingale: Pure breakout strategy—no grid, no martingale, no hidden risk.
How It Works
Under the hood, the 3 Tier London Breakout V3.3b Indicator MT4 calculates the pre-session high and low based on a user-defined lookback period. Once the London session begins (you define the exact start time), Tier 1 triggers when price crosses the first band. If momentum continues, Tier 2 confirms when price breaks through the second band, reducing the chance of getting stopped out on a quick spike. Tier 3—positioned just beyond Tier 2—captures the strongest moves when major institutions join the fray.
Every time a tier is breached, the indicator can automatically plot suggested stop-loss and take-profit levels derived from the Average True Range (ATR). You can choose between fixed-pip or ATR-based exits. Push notifications and email alerts ensure you’re notified the moment a breakout happens—even if you’re not glued to your screen.

Best Currency Pairs & Time Frames
While you can apply the 3 Tier London Breakout Indicator to any pair, it excels on:
- GBP/USD – ultra-liquid during London hours.
- EUR/USD – steady moves, low spreads.
- USD/JPY – picks up as Tokyo hands off to London.
Commonly used on H1 and H4 charts, but you can experiment with M30 for quicker entries or D1 for swing-style breakouts. Just remember: smaller time frames may produce more false signals unless you tighten the volatility filter.
Risk Management & Tips
• Demo First – Always backtest on a demo account to fine-tune settings.
• Position Sizing – Keep your risk per trade under 1–2% of account equity.
• Trail Stops – Consider trailing your stop once Tier 2 confirms to lock in profits.
• Avoid News – Major economic releases during London can skew breakout levels.
• Combine with Trend Filters – Use a 200-period MA or higher-timeframe trend to trade only in the direction of the overall trend.
By sticking to strict risk rules and combining the 3 Tier London Breakout Indicator with broader market context, you’ll reduce drawdowns and ride quality breakouts.
