MA Cross lovers... gather here!

 

I know that Moving Average cross systems are quite popular, so I made a generic one that can take whatever standard MA you want. An explanation of the features is in the source code, but I'll also post them here:

extern string averages="==== MA Settings ====================";

extern int FastPeriod=5; // Period for calculating MA

extern int FastShift=0; // Shift the MA over X number of bars

extern int FastType=0; // 0: Simple moving average

// 1: Exponential moving average

// 2: Smoothed moving average

// 3: Linear weighted moving average

extern int FastApplication=0; // 0: Close price

// 1: Open price

// 2: High price

// 3: Low price

// 4: Median price, (high+low)/2

// 5: Typical price, (high+low+close)/3

// 6: Weighted close price, (high+low+close+close)/4

extern int SlowPeriod=10;

extern int SlowShift=0;

extern int SlowType=0;

extern int SlowApplication=0;

extern string manage="==== Order Management ====================";

extern int BreakEvenAtProfit=0;

extern int BreakEvenShift=0; // Move the breakeven point up or down around the order open price

extern int TrailingStop=0;

extern bool OnlyTrailAfterProfit=false; // Trailing Stop will only trails when order is profitable

extern string account="==== Account Settings ====================";

extern int MinimumEquity=0; // New orders will be disabled if equity drops below minimum

extern int MinimumBalance=0; // New orders will be disabled if balance drops below minimum

extern string activity="==== EA Activity Settings ====================";

extern bool DisableClosingOrders=false; // If true, the order closing section of the EA will not run

extern bool DisableNewOrders=false; // If true, the order creating section of the EA will not run

extern int ConcurrentOrdersMax=10;

extern string id="==== Identity Settings ====================";

extern int ExpertID=127792141; // Magic number: for identifying an EA's orders

extern bool TimeSpecific=false; // If true, Time frames are considered in determining

// whether an order belongs to the EA or not

extern string ExpertName="Generic MA Cross"; // Expert name: for aesthetic purposes
 

Hi

Hi....

Sorry i have no programming background at all, but i want to make an EA based on LWMA. The logic is very2 simple, buy if the "CANDLES FULLY FORMED" above LWMA and vice versa for short...

Thanks before

 

Minor update: This one will only take one trade per bar.

 

I love moving averages, thanks for creating this thread. I am working on a system with MA cross, well a variation of ma. They are called t3 and t3-1. The results look very auspicious. More testing is required. Can you help me with one thing? A audio alert when they cross. I would appreciate that if you can.

Youn need to post the code to do that!

Post the code or PM me if you want it confidential.

I'll add an alert for you.

ps: mq4 file is the code. if you don't have the code, we can't help you.

 

Guys i don't have the code, didn't know we needed that to make the alert, i am such a MT4 noob

I downloaded the indicators like this here on tsd...

EA for trading system @ www.babypips.com

Hi Shinigami,

I am manually forward testing the trading system at babypips

Setup Your System in Six Steps - 11th Grade: Create Your Own Trading System - Beginner's Guide to Forex Trading, Free Forex Education, Learn to Trade Forex, Forex Training - BabyPips.com

So far, I found it from BreakEven to profitable. It has standard features of a standard EA. It doesn't look very complicated.

Can you write an EA for it? I will test it on MT4 platform and post result here.

Thanks in advance.

 

Nearly had enough

Before I take the final step in this forex saga, & throw the whole bunch of

c--p in the bin...is there anyone out there who can point me at a SIMPLEmoving average entry EA.

All I need is an entry at open of next bar following a cross (My choice of MA's type & style, TP & SL) - nothing else (Though it would be nice if I could also choose a time for it to place the trade).

Thanks all
