CCI and MACD Scalping Rules for EUR/USD

Article MQL5 code base

Summary

This short-term forex strategy combines a 34-period exponential moving average, a 50-period Commodity Channel Index, and the default MACD settings. It is presented as having been tested on EUR/USD and as best suited to a 15-minute chart. The proposed buy conditions are a candle close above the EMA, CCI crossing above zero, and a MACD cross below zero.

The sell instructions repeat those same three conditions, including a close above the EMA and positive CCI, so the document does not provide a distinct or coherent short-entry setup. It gives no stop-loss, exit, position-sizing, cost, or performance details, and therefore offers limited evidence for judging the method. The listed conditions describe entries only; they are not enough to reproduce a complete scalping system or assess its risk and profitability.

Key ideas

  • The setup combines an EMA, CCI, and MACD on EUR/USD at a 15-minute interval.\nA proposed buy requires price above the EMA, CCI crossing into positive territory, and a MACD cross below zero.\nThe stated sell rules duplicate the buy conditions, leaving the short signal unclear.\nNo exit rules, risk controls, or performance evidence are provided.
