Indicator vs Expert Advisor (EA)

Lanami offers two execution methods for the same breakout framework:

• A Breakout Indicator for traders who want control and confirmation
• A Breakout Expert Advisor (EA) for traders who want automation and consistency

Both use the same underlying logic, the same confirmation rules, and the same trend filter.

The difference is how trades are executed, not how setups are generated.

The Lanami Indicator identifies valid breakout setups based on the confirmed SMA10 framework.

It does not place trades automatically. Instead, it alerts you when a valid setup occurs so you can decide whether to enter.

The indicator supports three alert methods:

• MT5 Desktop Alerts — visual and audible alerts inside the platform
• Telegram Bot Alerts — receive signals directly in Telegram
• MT5 Mobile Push Notifications — alerts sent to your phone

This makes the indicator suitable for traders who want awareness and control without watching charts constantly.

The Lanami Expert Advisor (EA) trades the breakout strategy automatically.

Once installed on MT5 Desktop, the EA:

• monitors price continuously
• detects valid breakout setups
• places trades without manual input

The EA follows the same confirmation rules as the indicator but removes emotional decision-making and missed entries.

Because automation requires a stable environment, the EA runs only on MT5 Desktop (often on a VPS).

Some traders start with the indicator to understand the strategy, then move to the EA once comfortable.

Both the Lanami Indicator and Expert Advisor are controlled via a license system.

• Licenses are available on a monthly or yearly basis
• One active license is required per product
• Strategy logic is identical across all license tiers

Licensing ensures ongoing updates, maintenance, and compatibility with MT5.
