Tim Morris Moving Average System for Short-Term Trading

Article MQL5 code base

Summary

The document briefly introduces the Tim Morris moving average system, also called TMMA, and attributes its creation to Tim Morris in 2004. It says traders use the system for scalping and other short-term trades, with the 15-minute chart identified as a timeframe where it may produce useful signals.

The source gives no moving-average settings, entry or exit rules, stop placement, market selection, or performance data, so it is not sufficient to reproduce or assess the method. Its favorable comment about 15-minute signals is presented without supporting evidence. The document explicitly advises further testing and experimentation with parameters before relying on the system. Readers should therefore treat it as a brief pointer to a trading approach rather than a complete strategy specification.
