Exp_WAMI_Cloud_X2 - expert for MetaTrader 5

Trend-following trading system Exp_WAMI_Cloud_X2 is based on the signals of two indicators WAMI. The first indicator determines the direction of the slow trend based on the position of the main and signal lines. The second indicator determines the moment for opening a trade, when the lines cross each other. The signal is formed when a bar is closing if two conditions are met:

1. Signals of the fast and slow trend match;
2. Direction of the fast trend has changed.

String parameters with text in the code of input parameters are only for better visualization of the input parametera window of the expert.

Indicators WAMI_Cloud_HTF in the EA are only designed for a more convenient visualization of trends in the Strategy Tester; and they doe not work in any other modes.

For the generated EA to operate correctly, the compiled files of indicators WAMI.ex5 and WAMI_Cloud_HTF.ex5 must be in the <terminal_data_directory>\MQL5\Indicators folder.

Note that the TradeAlgorithms.mqh library file allows using Expert Advisors with brokers who offer nonzero spread and the option of setting Stop Loss and Take Profit together with position opening. You can download more variants of the library at the following link: Trade Algorithms.

Default Expert Advisor's input parameters have been used during the tests shown below. Stop Loss and Take Profit have not been used during the tests.
