MACD Secrets EA: Multi-Timeframe Signals and Configurable Trade Management

Article MQL5 code base

Summary

This brief description presents an Expert Advisor that uses three time frames to identify a trend and trades the open candle price. It lists support for major forex pairs and NASDAQ stocks, along with configurable stop losses, take profits, trailing stops, break-even moves, and limits on concurrent trades. Position sizing can also be increased after a loss through an increase factor, which users can set to zero to disable that behavior.

The document is primarily a parameter guide rather than a tested strategy explanation. It provides ranges for many settings but does not specify the exact MACD signal rules, the time-frame combination, tested instruments or periods, or any performance results. Because loss-based size increases can raise exposure, the listed controls should be understood as configuration options rather than evidence of risk control or profitability. The page recommends trying the EA in a demo environment first.
