Combining Higher-Timeframe MACD with Stochastic for an Expert Advisor

Summary

This Expert Advisor concept combines MACD calculated on an adjustable, higher timeframe with a Stochastic oscillator on the chart’s current timeframe. The described setup uses the timeframe relationship as a core design choice, but the document does not specify the oscillator crossover rules or exact conditions that trigger entries and exits.

Position volume is set manually. Buy and sell trades can have separate stop-loss and take-profit distances, while a shared trailing-stop distance and step apply to both directions. The inputs are intended to be optimized separately for each symbol and timeframe, with an example optimization context named for AUDUSD on a 15-minute chart. No tested results, parameter values, or performance evidence are included, so the material explains the EA’s configurable structure rather than establishing that the strategy is effective.

Key ideas

• The EA combines higher-timeframe MACD with a Stochastic oscillator on the chart timeframe.
• The MACD timeframe is intended to be higher than the active chart timeframe.
• Buy and sell trades can use separate stop-loss and take-profit settings.
• A common trailing-stop distance and step apply to both trade directions.
• The document recommends symbol- and timeframe-specific optimization but reports no results.
