MA Crossover System that works for me

It's correct. When all three MAs are aligned up, it shows green, when all aligned down it shows red. When not aligned it shows grey

A lot of good work coming up here!

A valuable addition, or change, to the EA would be a lot size calculator. I use the attached for all my trades. It is the .mq4 file, so you can borrow the code from it.

Timeframe settings - 100 - 21 -8?

upload the exe
as without these 2 files it will not compile

Fixed it with that info, thanks a lot Alstair

It's better that you download it so that you get the correct files.

Hi Pandatronix, no, I use 100-15-5 because in my opinion it gives a better balance in showing crossover earlier but not too early. This week EA has started with 3 trades of which currently 2 are losing!

as described, change the emas as you like as backtesting in eurusd no clear set.
added just for info todays range in pips and the average of the last 3 days to show
how the daily swing is and how they have been have been latetely

Good Morning,


this green line is the highest price of the last 30 days till yesterday and then counted down.
i will change the expert with option entry manual with buy and sell button with alerts on screen
that it wants long or short so one can finetune the entry then manually.

buttons always work even in automatic mode but max 1 position
default is automatic = acts same as version 11



in alert mode alerts once a bar

I was wondering: if EA opens a trade and this trade stays open a few days, if conditions change can EA open a second trade on the same currency pair and could this then be in the opposite direction? Or does the fact that 1 trade is open block the opening of a second trade?

one buy and one sell at the same time is allowed but wont happen easily as the first one will then have hit stop loss
anyway the panel with the position will not show exact info when having openend buy and sell

this one can handle that strange situation when one buy and one sell is openend as the thing has buy/sell buttons now it could happen



i did open 0.01 lot buy and 0.01 lot sell

nice trade in eurjpy, did hit the m1 trail button just now

If the trade in a pair has reached tp or you closed it yourself
and in menu you selected one trade a day it will say "No more trades today"
but when you think there will come another opportunity today
you can delete the corresponding file in directory mq4/files


it will think that no trade has been done and will make imediately a new file that says that

Not much happening with the trading the last two days. So far one loss (EURCAD), otherwise 5 EA trades still running, some from yesterday, some from today, and they mostly haven't moved very far from their entry level.

Good Morning,

my demo trades at the moment with default config (not the improved version that i am testing now).


trying to improve the expert further as when it took a long in eurusd the 3 moving averages in my trigger timeframe m5 were all alined for short


eurusd situation at the moment

all closed with helper expert, see post 902
the idea behind the helper expert is to close all at target (and call it a day) before usa traders enter the pitch as more than once directions then reverse.
they enter from 12.11 hrs gmt+3
i deleted all the files in mq4/files and started it all up again and what happens ?

in this version the 3 emas small,medium,big must be also aligned in trigger timeframe so trigger timeframe must say short or long
the slope of the ema of the trigger timeframe as will as the slope of the big,medium and small ma of the triggertimeframe are not used
although you can see them in the first line of the panel
in eurusd backtest 2021 and 2022 the T version is better

Just some thoughts
After 10 winners in a row last week, this week has given me so far 2 losers and 1 winner. What are my conclusions?
1. I was thinking that maybe if you leave EA work at random you get opposite trades and it might be better to only sell or only buy certain pairs. However: as the results show, I have a losing trade buying the USD (agains CAD) as well as a winning trade buying the USD (against JPY), so I will keep the buy AND sell open on all pairs. We are trading short term, so let this clever system decide instead of giving priority to my perception of what is likely
2. I don't think you can prevent a losing trade but I would like to reduce the amount lost in a losing trade. For this purpose before implementing EA on a currency pair I will now change the following : a) since EA will trade on a pullback, the fact that the price continues in the wrong direction proves the trade wrong, starting from a position that is already a certain number of pips away from the previous candle. Therefore I will no longer use the same number of pips for SL and TP but instead I will program higher TP (2 to 1 or at least 1,5 to 1) to compensate the previous candle and b) I will also calculate in advance the maximum loss / profit that goes with the number of pips chosen for SL and TP and perhaps use this data to chose a higher or lower number of pips for SL / TP. Just trading 0,01 lot of EUR/GBP with a 75 pip SL resulted in 8,72 euro loss, which I consider too high. c) As a general rule I also tend to choose the number of pips in function of the ADR, we like the trade to close the same day so if the ADR is high my SL / TP is higher and vice versa
Hope this is useful and of course your more professional and experienced thoughts on this are more than welcome.
