MA Crossover EA MT4: Free MT4 Expert Advisor

Overview

MA Crossover EA MT4 identifies entry points when price or technical indicators intersect and can exit positions when an opposite signal occurs. The EA provides trade management features, including traditional and virtual stop loss and take profit settings, trailing stops, and break-even functionality. Risk control is handled via multiple money management methods, such as fixed lots or percentage-based scaling. It also supports time-restricted trading and limits the maximum number of open trades.
