Managing risk is crucial if you want to be successful in trading the Forex market.

The purpose of the Moving Average Cross Close is to close your trade automatically once price closes above your choice of moving average time period, in a short trade or below the moving average in a long trade.

Having the ability to automatically close open trades under these conditions, gives you the discipline to close trades that are beginning to move against you. As we all know, it is often difficult to close a trade that is in profit and begins to retrace. Many of us hope that price is not reversing and we wind up losing all of our profit and at times we even allow price to go as far as our stop loss. If this has happened to you, I'm sure that you know how painful that can be. The Moving Average Cross Close EA takes out the human emotions that we all face by automatically closing the trade once the moving average of your choice has been breached.

The Moving Average Cross Close also gives you the benefit and confidence of walking away from your screen while you are in a winning trade. Since you are not tied to your screen you have the ability to live your life. The Moving Average Cross Close allows you to go to bed, to work, out to eat, etc. with confidence, knowing that the trade will be managed to potentially secure your profit.

The moving average automatically follows price and gives your trade enough breathing room to keep you in the game. This strategy often helps you to capture more pips on extended moves.
