Dubai, UAE – March 16, 2026 — Rimantas Petrauskas has announced the global release of FxMagnetic 1.8.0, introducing new tools designed to improve forex trading strategy development, automation, and risk evaluation. The update includes two major additions—FxMagnetic Breakout Trader and FxMagnetic Equity Simulator—alongside platform improvements aimed at enhancing usability and execution control for traders worldwide.
This release is particularly relevant for traders participating in proprietary trading programs and those managing automated systems, where strategy validation and disciplined execution play a critical role in long-term performance.
New App: FxMagnetic Breakout Trader
The highlight of version 1.8.0 is the introduction of FxMagnetic Breakout Trader, a tool focused on building and automating strategies based on widely used breakout concepts. These include:
- London Breakout
- New York Opening Range Breakout
- Custom-defined breakout ranges
The application allows traders to test and optimize breakout strategies directly on MetaTrader charts, combining historical analysis with automated execution through the Autotrader module. By supporting session-based trading logic, the tool is designed to align with periods of increased market volatility.
New App: FxMagnetic Equity Simulator
Another key addition is the FxMagnetic Equity Simulator, which provides a visual representation of strategy performance. The tool reads trades generated by any FxMagnetic Scanner and converts them into an equity curve based on user-defined risk parameters.
This functionality allows traders to evaluate how a strategy may perform over time before applying it to live markets, supporting more informed decision-making and improved risk management.
“Visualizing strategy performance as an equity curve adds an important layer of understanding beyond individual trades,” noted a member of the FxMagnetic development team. “It helps traders assess consistency and drawdown behavior in a more practical way.”
Scanner and Autotrader Enhancements
Version 1.8.0 also introduces several updates across the Scanner and Autotrader components:
- DST Session Shift Parameter
A new input allows adjustment of trading sessions during weeks when U.S. and European daylight saving time schedules are not aligned, helping maintain accurate session-based strategies. - Organized CSV Export Files
Optimization results are now automatically stored in date-based folders, improving accessibility and workflow for traders running multiple tests. - Autotrading / Manual Mode Switch
A new interface button enables switching between automated and manual trading modes. By default, the system starts in manual mode to prevent unintended trades when signals are already active.- In Autotrading mode, trades are executed automatically based on Scanner signals
- In Manual mode, signals are displayed with Buy/Sell buttons, allowing discretionary execution while maintaining automated trade management
These updates enhance both safety and flexibility, particularly for traders managing multiple strategies or accounts.
Supporting Structured and Data-Driven Trading
The vision of the FxMagnetic Suite is to provide traders with a structured, visual approach to automated trading, allowing strategies to be tested, refined, and executed without programming complexity. With the addition of breakout-based systems and equity curve simulation, version 1.8.0 expands the platform’s ability to support both strategy discovery and performance validation.
“Breakout strategies and equity-based evaluation are widely used concepts in professional trading,” a product team representative added. “Integrating them into a single environment helps bridge the gap between idea and execution.”
FxMagnetic 1.8.0 is now available globally. To learn more about the update and access the full suite of tools, visit FxMagnetic.
