It's not just this EA, I've seen it on others too.
SimpleDailyRangeBreakout was not coded for D1 bar especially. This EA is using different calculation. I am using it for H1 timeframe.

As to other EAs so look inside the code: it should be D1 timeframe mentioned. If not so EA should perform differently in different timeframes. But it is mainly related to the trading system. I mean that every EA is manual trading system automazied (automated/coded to be mechanical trading system).
