MA strategies EA is a moving average cross EA that can support multiple MA cross strategies that involve two or three moving averages. Purchasing this EA can save you the time taken to automate your existing MA strategy through coding a custom EA and it also helps you discover profitable moving average strategies as its fully compatible with the strategy tester and all settings are editable. The EA supports both scalping, short term and long term strategies. The various supported settings are explained below:
NOTE: The default settings in the EA are simply place holders. Before using the EA, please enter your own settings that work for you best.
Trade settings:
- Lots- This is the lot size for opening trades. If this value is greater than zero, then fixed lots will be used.

- TakeProfit- The fixed take profit valuein points. If 0 then no take profit will be set.
- StopLoss- The fixed stop loss value in points. If 0 then no stop loss will be set.
- CloseOnReverseSignal- If set to 1 or true, then trades will be closed if a trade signal opposite the one that opened the trade appears.
- WaitForCrossBarClose- A trade will only occur after the bar where the cross occured closes.
