A Two-Moving-Average Crossover Expert Advisor for Forex

Summary

This document describes a forex expert advisor that uses signals from two moving averages and trails open positions. Users can configure each moving average’s period, horizontal shift, smoothing method, and applied price. The advisor operates on every tick but reads indicator values from a selected signal candle, and it trades only during a configured time window.

The listed eligible instruments are major and cross currency pairs. The text mentions a EUR/USD five-minute test setup covering January 2016 through February 2017 with an initial balance, but provides no outcome statistics or detailed trading rules. The setup alone does not establish profitability, robustness, or the effect of the many configurable parameters; those would require full results and broader testing.

Key ideas

• The advisor generates trades from two moving-average signals and trails open positions.
• Moving-average calculation and price inputs are configurable.
• Trading is restricted to a selected time of day and eligible currency pairs.
• Signals are read from a selected candle even though the advisor runs on each tick.
• The document names a historical test setup but gives no performance results.
