Three Moving Average Crossovers with Loss-Adjusted Position Sizing
Summary
This Expert Advisor uses three moving averages to generate directional entries. A long setup requires the fast average to cross above the middle average while both faster averages remain above the slow average across the current and prior bar comparisons. The short setup mirrors those conditions, with a downward crossover and the averages below the slow line.
Position size can be fixed or based on free margin, and an optional rule reduces size after consecutive losing trades. The EA also exposes take-profit, stop-loss, and trailing-stop settings, plus periods and shifts for each average. The source mentions a visual strategy tester image but gives no numerical performance results or test conditions. It therefore describes entry and trade-management mechanics, not evidence that the system is profitable; parameter choices, market, costs, and validation are unspecified.
Key ideas
- Entries use a fast and middle moving-average crossover filtered by their position relative to a slow average.
- Long and short rules are symmetric and check current and previous bar relationships.
- Position sizing may be fixed or tied to free margin.
- An optional loss-streak rule reduces position size after consecutive losing trades.
- Take-profit, stop-loss, and trailing-stop distances are configurable, but no quantified test evidence is provided.
