If you're looking for a straightforward yet effective trading tool, the Simple 2MA I Expert Advisor (EA) for MetaTrader 4 is worth checking out. This EA uses two mini trend lines with fractals to help you ride the market trends while incorporating a trailing stop loss and take profit feature. It works seamlessly across all timeframes and major forex pairs, as well as stocks like NASDAQ.

Here's the basic concept behind this price action EA:

  • Buy Signal: Both trend lines are turning upwards.
  • Sell Signal: Both trend lines are turning downwards.

Now, let’s dive into some key features:

  • This EA combines two moving averages with trend lines.
  • Trend lines are not functional in test mode.
  • Optimization tests can only be performed using moving averages.
  • In live trading, both trend lines and moving averages work together.
  • During tests, the EA will only draw the trend lines in visual mode without executing trades based on them.
  • Backtesting should be done using the "open prices only" option.
  • Trend lines will act as a filter, increasing the probability of successful trades.
  • Always start with a demo account!
  • This EA only trades based on the opening price of a candle.
  • If you prefer to maintain your lot size after a loss, set "IncreaseFactor=0".
