The MA Crossover EA is an automated trading system for MT5 that executes trades based on moving average crossovers. It is designed to capture medium-term trend shifts on the M12 timeframe with clear entry signals and strict risk management.
One important aspect to consider: it was trained and tested on NASDAQ.
Key Features
-
Moving Average Crossover Strategy – Uses a fast and a slow moving average to generate buy and sell signals when crossovers occur, confirming trend direction changes.
-
Customizable Parameters – Adjustable MA periods, calculation method (SMA, EMA, etc.), and applied price type for flexible strategy tuning.
-
Risk Management – Automatic lot sizing based on account balance and defined risk percentage per trade, with stop loss and take profit levels set as a percentage of price.
-
Time Control – Define trading hours (start and end). The EA can automatically close open trades once the session ends.

Trade Execution – Monitors M12 candle closes to confirm valid signals before entering new trades.
