Overview
MT5 MA Crossover Bot tracks short-term and long-term moving averages, entering a buy position when the faster line crosses above the slower line and a sell position when it crosses below. Upon receiving a new signal, the bot automatically closes the current position before opening the opposite trade. It includes configurable risk parameters for fixed stop loss and take profit levels. The system uses a fixed volume for lot sizing and allows customization of the moving average methods and calculation periods.
- Dual moving average crossover logic
- Automated position closing on reversal
- Customizable MA periods and methods
- Fixed stop loss and take profit protection
