Trading Signals: Free MT4 Expert Advisor

Overview

Trading Signals tracks moving average crossovers, specifically the 50 and 200 periods, along with Relative Strength Index levels, Bollinger Band breakouts, and MACD confirmations. Users can configure the tool to send notifications via on-screen popups, email, or mobile push notifications. The expert advisor acts strictly as a signaling system and does not execute trades, manage open positions, or provide automated risk controls. It requires an external custom indicator for the moving average crossover logic to function.
