Source Code

The code stays on GitHub. The author has not published this script under an open licence, so ForexR does not show its code. Copy script reads the file straight from GitHub into your clipboard, so you can still try it on your own chart. Ask the author before reusing the code anywhere else.

Overview

MA Crossover Strategy [Lab] enters long when the fast average crosses above the slow average and short when it crosses below. An optional higher-timeframe moving average can block trades against the higher-timeframe trend. Users choose the average type and lengths, the filter timeframe, risk as a percent of equity, an ATR stop-loss multiple, and a take-profit multiple of that stop. Orders are processed on bar close and pyramiding is disabled.

Third-party code. ForexR did not write, test or endorse this script, and the summary above was generated automatically from its code and README. Indicators describe the past, and a strategy's backtest can look better than live trading, especially when a script repaints. Check it in the Strategy Tester and on a demo account before you rely on it.
