I've looked long & hard but cannot find a simple MA expert.
Ideally it should allow user inputs of:
Fast ma, type & method
Slow ma, type & method
SL
TP
Thats all

If anyone should have something like it lurching on their computor, I would be grateful if they would share it.

Thanks a bunch people.

Here is a MA cross EA. The only things that I added to it are Break Even and Max Distance. For the Break Even setting the BreakEven is the amount of pips in profit to move SL to 0, the Secured setting will move your stop to anywhere between your BreakEven and 0. The Max Distance variable was added to keep out of MA crosses when a huge move already happened and you might be too late. I used Envelopes set to the same paramaters as the Slow MA settings, so the only thing you have to adjust is the Deviation portion. If you don't want to use that setting you can set it to something like 10.0. Hope this is what you wanted, just let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks a million Cch, I'll run it for a while & get back to ypu. Sounds just what the Doc ordered.
Just two small additions....if they are possible!
Could you add a Wav sound alert, one up & one down, Plus arrows?

Hi Izzytrader,

I've never coded alerts or arrows, but I will try to figure it out. How is the EA working for you, are there any adjustments or additions you would want? I'm trying to improve my coding skills, so just let me know, and I will give it a shot.

Hi Cch, sorry for the dlay in getting back to you. There is a problem, but I don't think it's anything to do with your work.
I trade only with 'Constant range bars', & for some reason your EA works on a noemal candle/bar chart, but noe on CRB's. I've tried other ea's, just to be sure, but it looks as though CRB's (Having no time element) don't like ea's!

Can any expert help me review this EA. I track back the visual display chart and noticed that at the beginning of the back test, it was showing good results. Then it turns bad with losses and reason was it took the reverse trade during the bad result stage. It was suppose to buy when 5EMA crosses up 12EMA, but it did the reverse, while the beginning stage was OK. What can I change to make it consistent to have buy when 5 crosses up 12 and not the other way?
