MQL5 Wizard - Trade Signals Based on Crossover of Main and Signal lines of MACD indicator:

MQL5 Wizard provides the automatic creation of Expert Advisors (see MQL5 Wizard: Creating Expert Advisors without Programming).

Here we will consider the trading signals, based on crossover of MACD indicator lines. The strategy called "Signals based on crossover of main and signal MACD lines" (when creating EA automatically in MQL5 Wizard).

The main line of MACD indicator is calculated as a difference of fast EMA and slow EMA. The signal line of MACD is calculated as the main line, smoothed with PeriodSignal period.

The trade signals:

• Buy: upward crossover of main and signal lines of MACD indicator.
  
• Sell: downward crossover of main and signal lines of MACD indicator.

There is probably a bug in the code, it takes forever to trade :) The default one that comes with MT5

ExpertMACD

Expert_MagicNumber =10981;

trades much better.

Unfortunately, the CSignalMACD signal class was not appended to the standard library, but instead

an example of what a signal class should not look like,

instead of taking advantage of the properties of the base class when deriving a class

Hi

you don't need to generate any EA.

you must only put "signalMACD.mqh" downloaded file in "C:\Program Files\Alpari MT5 OFFLINE\MQL5\Include\Expert\Signal" path instead of original one.

then put "testMACD.mq5" in  "C:\Program Files\Alpari MT5 OFFLINE\MQL5\Experts".

and now compile  "testMACD.mq5" .

and run EA on sterategy tester.

it works.
