How It Works

This Expert Advisor utilizes the iMA (Moving Average) indicator to analyze price movements. It compares the opening price of the most recent bar (bar #0) with the Moving Average values of the current and previous bars (MA #0 and MA #1). If there's already an active position that aligns with a new signal, that signal will be disregarded. The Expert Advisor operates on every tick, so it’s always ready to act.


Understanding the Signals

  • BUY Signal: A BUY position is triggered when the open price of bar #0 is below MA #0, AND the ASK price is below MA #0, AND MA #1 is below MA #0.

  • SELL Signal: A SELL position is generated when the open price of bar #0 is above MA #0, AND the BID price is above MA #0, AND MA #1 is above MA #0.

Positions are closed when an opposite signal is generated; for example, a SELL position closes upon receiving a BUY signal.
