Signals 3 MACD
The trading system is based on crossing 3 signal lines (with different parameters) of the MACD indicator. When all the lines are increasing, a buy order is opened (the opposite - sell order). The CCI indicator is required to avoid buying at the highest price but to but when the price decreases a bit, but there is still an uptrend. Also, the Stochastic and ATR serve as additional filters.
The EA s easy to set up, but at the same time it shows good results on the short-term 5-minute timeframe. It can be used on the M1 timeframe as well, if the spread is very low. Recommended currency pairs: EUR/USD, GBP/USD, USD/CAD, USD/JPY, EUR/GBP. This is a trend system, it is recommended to use it during the periods of high market volatility (daytime) - time limitations for trading can be adjusted.
The EA does not use risky trading strategies, it always sets stop loss which it can later transfer to a small profit.
