Umac with macd and RSI filters
Added MACD and adjustable RSI filters...really just a quick hack; may make the code a little more elegant in a future release. Working on adding stochastic filter. Back and forward testing show optimal results on M30. Forward test on real money account made me 100+ pips per chart net average (I run 12). Unfortunately, I can't post attachments, so I can't post EA, and my optimizer settings. Maybe an admin will be so kind as to allow it. In the meantime, you can email me at chris.wo5q@gmail.com, and I'll send you both files, so you have the modded EA, and my optimizer settings.

rsi filter is good, but in my version i.ve only sell trade during test, so strange
I have the code you emailed me, przm....I'll take a look soon as I get some free time, see if I can help; didn't get a chance to do more than a quick scan when I received the email. I don't claim to be a coding expert with mql4, but I'll see what I can find for you, hopefully within the next couple of days.
I try to make an EA for any Moving Average Cross strategy, try to make it universal. So please let me know should you have any suggestion to add to this EA.

ver.6 MinPriceDistance (default 5)
