Overview
MA5X_L calculates four moving averages (short, medium, long, extra-long WMA/SMA) and enters long trades when the short WMA crosses above the long WMA or when short, medium, and long WMAs align in an uptrend. Positions are closed when the short WMA crosses below the long WMA or when open profit exceeds a threshold and price drops below an ATR trailing line. The strategy plots moving averages and trailing profit exit levels directly on the price chart.
- Multiple weighted moving average trend filter
- Up Trend Arrangement entry trigger
- ATR-based trailing profit exit line
- Dual entry logic with pyramiding support
