MACD CrossoverPro

MACD Crossover Pro is a professional Expert Advisor built on one of the most reliable and time-tested strategies in technical analysis: the MACD line crossover with the Signal line. Designed for traders who value simplicity, transparency, and consistent rule-based execution.

HOW IT WORKS

The EA monitors the MACD indicator (Moving Average Convergence Divergence) in real time. The entry logic is straightforward and powerful:

• When the MACD line crosses above the Signal line → the EA opens a BUY position
• When the MACD line crosses below the Signal line → the EA opens a SELL position

All signals are confirmed on closed bars only, eliminating false signals and repainting issues that affect many other EAs.

When a new signal is generated in the opposite direction, the EA automatically closes the existing position before opening the new one — keeping your exposure clean and aligned with the current market direction at all times.

RISK MANAGEMENT

MACD Crossover Pro includes a built-in margin check before every trade. If your account does not have sufficient free margin to open the position, the EA will skip the trade and wait for the next signal — protecting your account from unexpected errors.

Stop Loss and Take Profit are applied automatically on every order. The optional Trailing Stop allows the EA to follow the price and lock in profits progressively as the trade develops.

RECOMMENDED USAGE

• For scalping: M5 or M15 with tighter Stop Loss settings
• Always run a backtest on your specific symbol and timeframe before going live
• Start with the default settings and adjust based on your backtest results
