EURUSD Moving Average Crossover With Pullback Entries

Summary

This EURUSD strategy combines 15-period and 100-period moving averages to identify a directional crossover, then waits for price to move across the shorter average before entering. For a long trade, the fast average crosses above the slow one, price first falls below the fast average and then rises back above it; the short setup mirrors these conditions. The code disables order accumulation and uses market entries for one contract.

Risk controls include a fixed stop loss of 150 points and a strategy-level loss threshold of -500 in the instrument’s currency, after which the strategy quits. The accompanying description says entries are better than exits, but supplies no performance data, test period, or comparison. The thresholds and rules are presented as a simple example, not validated results. The document does not specify the chart timeframe, transaction costs, handling of open positions at shutdown, or whether the settings generalize to other instruments.

Key ideas

• The strategy uses a 15-period and a 100-period moving average to define crossover direction.
• Entries wait for price to cross back over the shorter average after a pullback.
• Long and short setups use mirrored crossover and price conditions.
• A fixed point stop and a cumulative loss threshold provide basic risk controls.
• The document reports no backtest evidence and acknowledges that exits may need improvement.
