Expert Advisor Description: Candle Cross DCR
Candle Cross DCR is a fully automated Expert Advisor for MetaTrader 5 that generates precise trading signals when a candlestick crosses a moving average (EMA) — a classical and powerful trend signal — and optionally confirms that signal using DeMarker, CCI, or RSI.
This EA is highly configurable and suitable for both scalping and trend-following strategies. It allows you to combine price-action triggers with multi-timeframe indicator filters for increased accuracy and market alignment.
If you are interested in trying ready-made settings (.set) for different symbols or timeframes, feel free to send me a friend request and message me directly — I’ll gladly share them!
Core Strategy Logic
Trade Entry Trigger
A trade signal is generated when a candle closes on the opposite side of a defined EMA:
BUY if the candle closes above the EMA and the previous one was below.
SELL if the candle closes below the EMA and the previous one was above.
Optional Filter: DCR Confirmation
Each indicator can be enabled or disabled independently. If enabled, the trade is only allowed when all active filters confirm the same direction:
DeMarker — BUY only if DeMarker is below a threshold (oversold); SELL only if DeMarker is above a threshold (overbought).
CCI — BUY only if CCI is below a threshold (oversold); SELL only if CCI is above a threshold (overbought).
RSI — BUY only if RSI is above a minimum level; SELL only if RSI is below a maximum level.
