A Multi-Indicator Forex Expert Advisor and Its H1 Test Results

Article MQL5 code base

Summary

This document describes a forex Expert Advisor that combines three moving averages with the Stochastic Oscillator and RSI. It can open market positions and place buy-stop or sell-stop orders. Configurable controls include stop loss, take profit, percentage risk, position building, pending-order lot scaling, and breakeven settings, alongside indicator periods and thresholds. These inputs outline a configurable rule-based system, but the document does not explain the precise signal conditions that trigger entries and exits.

A table reports default-setting tests on hourly charts for several currency pairs. Results vary considerably by pair: some rows show positive profit factors and relatively low reported drawdowns, while others show losses, weak or negative risk-adjusted measures, and much larger drawdowns. Trade counts are small across the listed tests, ranging from a handful to a few dozen. The table supplies historical test metrics, not evidence of live profitability; the document gives no test dates, costs, execution assumptions, or robustness analysis. Its results should be treated as limited, pair-specific backtest observations rather than a general performance claim.
