DecEMA Direction Reversal Expert Advisor

Article MQL5 code base

Summary

This document describes an Expert Advisor that trades changes in the direction of the DecEMA moving average. It generates a signal when a bar closes and the indicator reverses direction, so the method uses confirmed bar data rather than reacting to an intrabar change. Running the strategy requires the compiled DecEMA indicator, and a helper library is described for broker compatibility and order settings.

The document refers to chart examples and a test on GBPJPY at the eight-hour interval during 2014. It provides no numerical performance measures or detailed evaluation of the test, so the evidence is limited. The stated test used default inputs and omitted stop-loss and take-profit settings. Results therefore do not establish robustness across markets or periods, and the lack of protective exits is a material limitation.
