Three Moving Average Cross Strategy with MACD and ATR Risk Controls
Summary
The document describes an Expert Advisor that uses a three moving average cross to trigger trades and MACD as an additional entry check. A later update adds fixed percentage risk sizing and sets stop loss and take profit levels from ATR ranges, linking position risk and exit distances to market volatility.
No backtest results, parameter values, or performance evidence are provided, so the claim that the system is effective cannot be assessed from this text. The strategy description also leaves key implementation details unspecified, including moving average periods, MACD settings, ATR periods, trade direction rules, and the instruments or timeframes used. It is best read as a high-level outline of a trend-following system with volatility-based exits, rather than evidence of a validated trading edge.
