Universal MA Cross EA by Firedave

Thank you for your comment.

Actually, in entering a trade, I like to use the MA cross, BUT I also look at pivots, and monthly, weekly, daily high/lows, and see if the "coast is clear" going to my direction. Besides, letting an EA enter a trade automatically is something I am not comfortable with, just yet.

Now, the PRECISION you mentioned with regards to this EA in terms of closing a trade is something I truly like.

You think there's a way to close a manually opened trade using an EA similar to this - MA-CROSS?

Hi I do not know if this ea can be modified to just close a trade that was opened manually, I mentioned about the trailing stop that is on the platform, metatrader 4 platform. I only use MT4 platform. I am not a MT4 programmer, but one thing I know, everything that can be put on a ea, script or indicator is already built in the MT4 platform; that can be put in or taken out by an experienced programmer. If you are a scalper you should use take profit, if you are a swing trader, investor, you should use a trailing stop, that gives you a peace of mind to leave the front of the computer without being a slave of your computer screen. The trailing stops trail your profit trades, if an order decides to change its direction the TS will lock in your profits because maintains a safe distance of price variation in case the price moves against you. You decide in advance, for example, if you are in a profit trade of 150 pips and the price moves against you 50 pips, now you have a 100 pips profit instead 150, you need to make a decision, get out or keep going and risk to loose your 100 pips, this decision can be taken before you enter a trade in the first place. It is called part of your strategy, there are many parts of an strategy, this is your exit strategy. You already have trailing stops, you can put on the settings of the ea, TS, if you decide to open trades with the ea too. Since you are opening orders manually you do not use an ea, just use TS when you open all your orders, easy few seconds to do. Maybe you can find a script to do what you want, scripts are eas that only works once. When you place the order you will be using a script that has TS built in, the size of the TS works almost like a ma cross, you just have to adjust the size to work very likely your ma cross, that can be done.
Good luck again.

Hi, I need a EA for MA crossover. Would you be interested to do it for me even for a fee? Thanks

Hi chan012,

Can u pls tell, can i use this EA on my live account and is there any setting to use on 1H chart?


Thanks,

It does not auto trade. I have been testing it for last 2days on demo account.

This ea will not work on certain brokers, I know that needs to be modified or to get another version, the 1.2 to work on ECN 5 digit BROKERS. If you are using an ECN broker find this version on this website, do a search. I hope this helps. I do not advise to use another broker instead a true ECN broker, marker makers are a fraud. Please research a lot about it. They will steal your money.

ECN version attached, from here:

Please show me how do you adjust the EMA to 4,8.......Thank you

Thanks for sharing this interesting EA!

I have a small request. Is it possible to add an extra trailing stop function to universalMACrossEA + ecn 1.02.

I would like to add the functionality of a trailing expert called trailing by shadows. This function should controll all orders automatically (no iTicket)

In this post I attached this ea plus example. It would be great if someone could do this, I tried but my coding skills are not that good.

Cheers,

hello I'm new to EAs and have a question.

Can I use this EA just to close a position?

I mean: I want to open the position manualy but then use the EA to close the position on EMA cross



Thanks a lot

maybe, it depends on how it is coded.

if you set in this ea SendLongTrades and SendShortTrades = FALSE it should keep managing positions. So if you set magicnumber in the ea = 0 then it should manage you manully opened positions: http://www.forexfactory.com/showthre...01#post7397101

thanks, it's an old post....I've allready found an EA just for closing position

Forgive me if this is the incorrect place to ask such a question, but I'm unable to create a thread as I am a new user. Anyway, how did you learn how to code EA's? It's something that really interests me, but I'm unsure of where to start. Any advice would be most appreciated!

Regards

Hello capoeira!
Could you plz share this EA.
I was looking for it quite a long time.
Thanks

Hi everyone, does anyone know why sometime this EA just give me an ordersend error 130 and 131 ?
here is my setting

Deposit : 100$
Timeframe : 1D
Data from 1974 to now

MM : true
Micro account : true
Risk : 1

when I increase my risk, let say 10, it usually stop trading at 1988 and give me an ordersend error.

This EA is full loss. It gives me lots of ordersend error 130.
Testing on 1 minute chart with 3 MA cross with 7 pips SL & 10pips TP.
Giving me bad results. 100% LOSS.

I'm going to forward test this EA. I'll post results soon. I'm also looking for a partner to build an EA also.

I can't seem to get this EA to work. I put it in my Expert folder but the EA won't work. Does it not work on an offline chart with renkos?

This MA looks great.
My backtesting on 3Q of 2010 achieved great profits in these settings:
EUR/USD @ H1 for EMA 24 and EMA 36.
EUR/CAD @ H1 for EMA 24 and EMA 36.
GPB/USD @ H4 for EMA 24 and EMA 36.
Take note that not all currencies can achieve profits with these EMA settings.

What do you think about 5/8 ma crosover setting for 60 min to 240/daily/weekly TF.?

whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat!!!!????!!!!!
