Tunnel Method: Moving Average Signals with a Minimum Separation

Summary

The Tunnel Method is a moving-average signal approach attributed to Scriptor and implemented in MetaTrader code by another author. It uses three moving averages and compares two indicators for buy and sell decisions. A signal is checked only when the compared indicators are separated on the relevant bar by at least half of a configurable indentation distance. The method can be applied on any chart timeframe.

The implementation checks for signals on each tick while using a configurable pause interval between checks. The description does not specify the moving-average periods, exact buy and sell rules, exit logic, position sizing, or risk controls, so it is not enough to reproduce or assess the complete strategy. No backtest results or evidence of profitability are supplied. The page is a brief description of the indicator logic rather than a complete trading system.

Key ideas

• The method uses three moving averages and compares indicator pairs for buy and sell signals.
• A signal requires the compared indicators to meet a configurable minimum separation on a bar.
• The approach is described as usable on any timeframe and includes a pause between tick-based signal checks.
• The page omits detailed entry, exit, risk, and performance information.
