Hey guys, I am trying to code an EA that takes positions every time the MACD (21, 48, 3) crosses 0. However, this code takes positions when the EMA 21 and EMA 48 cross. I believe my issue is that I incorrectly coded the calculation: EMA 48 - EMA 21. Can anyone please help me solve this issue? I

Hi there guys, I'm new to all this and I've been doing okay recently but I always been thinking of something exists (if it doesn't then I'd be willing to pay for it to make it a thing at some point) but basically I want an EA that has a range for profit so imagine if I want whatever currency to hit...
