Corrected Average Breakout Signals for AUDUSD

Article MQL5 code base

Summary

This document describes an Expert Advisor signal based on price breaking through a level set at a distance from the CorrectedAverage moving average. A trade signal is generated at the close of a bar when price crosses that offset threshold. The distance is controlled by an input parameter expressed in points, so the threshold can be adjusted by the user.

The text refers to test results for AUDUSD on a four-hour chart during 2011 and says the displayed tests used the default Expert Advisor settings. It also states that neither stop loss nor take profit was used. However, the actual results, trading rules beyond the signal trigger, and details of the CorrectedAverage calculation are not included in the document. The described test therefore offers limited evidence for judging performance, and the absence of stated protective exits leaves risk handling unclear. The material explains the signal concept rather than establishing that it is profitable or robust across markets and periods.

Key ideas

  • The strategy triggers when price crosses a distance threshold from the CorrectedAverage.
  • Signals are evaluated at bar close.
  • The threshold distance is adjustable through an input parameter measured in points.
  • The cited test concerns AUDUSD on a four-hour chart during 2011 and uses defaults.
  • The test description says stop loss and take profit were not used, limiting risk assessment.
