This MetaTrader 5 expert advisor is an example implementation designed to trade moving average crossovers on non-standard timeframes, specifically seconds-based charts.
Price Moving Average Seconds Cross executes trades based on price crossing a moving average or two moving averages crossing each other. The EA includes risk management features such as optional stop loss and take profit levels, break-even settings, trailing stops, and partial profit taking. It also supports time-restricted trading and can close positions when trading hours end. Note that the README is minimal and the system relies on external indicator frameworks to generate custom chart data.
