Hi Tom,

I backtested this manually using Alpari UK and got these results from January 2011 up to last Friday...

EU - +4065
EY - +3277
AU - +505

This was using:

- 100+ close past 50 MA for EP
- No trade if 5 MA crossed 50 MA 3 or more times within 30 candles (if so wait 15 candles until next entry)
- No trade if 5 MA crossed 50 MA 2 or more times within 10 candles (if so wait 15 candles until next entry)

My money management was different however to that stated by zebulon.

For EU I used 2 lots for entry taking 1 lot profit at +200 at which point I move the SL to BE and letting the second lot run. If the 2nd lot hits +500 close trade. I am stopped out if the trade still runs and moves past the opposite side of 50 MA by 100 pips... I had no re-entries on a 50 MA re-touch...

For EY and AU I did the same but took profit at +150 and +400...
