Moving Average and RSI Entry Signals with Closed-Bar Confirmation

Article MQL5 code base

Summary

This indicator identifies potential entry points by combining two moving averages with an RSI calculation. Users set separate fast and slow averaging periods, along with the RSI period; the document does not specify the exact crossover or threshold rules that convert those inputs into buy and sell signals.

Its key operational guidance is to read the previous completed bar rather than the current unfinished bar. Using the current bar can produce many false signals as its values change before the bar closes. The indicator can display alerts and send email or push notifications, and it was used in a trading robot. No performance results, market tests, or risk controls are provided, so the description explains configuration and signal timing rather than evidence of profitability.

Key ideas

  • The indicator combines fast and slow moving averages with RSI to identify potential entries.
  • Users can configure the averaging periods and the bar offset used to read indicator values.
  • Reading the current unfinished bar may produce false signals as its values change.
  • The previous completed bar is recommended for signal confirmation.
  • The document describes alerts and notifications but provides no performance evidence.
