The Expert looks for a Trend and Momentum.
It is Multi-Time Frame (MTF), it uses 3 time frames; Highest Period, Middle Period and Lowest Period.
There is a 2 Time Frame (TF) option as well.
The Higher Period – is the anchor timeframe, the expert will look for a trend and momentum on this TF.
The Middle Period – looks for a pullback (ignored if 2-TF option is true)
The Lowest Period – is the chart that you attach the EA to (important). Stop Losses and Take Profits are calculated from this chart.
This is a top down system; Higher time frame confirmation, Lower time frame entries, Higher time frame exits. Small stop losses and larger take profits.
Momentum - Expert Buy when Higher time frame is already in a well-established up trend. Expert Sell vice versa.
