FG MA Trader

For many traders the 200 MA is considered one of the main trend indicators. once price crosses this line it is often indicative of a long term trend in the direction it has crossed. The FG_MA_Trader EA seeks to leverage that premise and enter the market based on a simple set of rules.

Multiple trade close options.

Multiple Trailing stoploss options.

Support for alert only and Email.

Application of the EA:

The FG_MA_Trader EA should be applied to the tester and back-tested for at least a year. Modify the settings carefully to attain the best results possible. once you are happy with the results, save the configuration and then once applied live, load the settings relevant to the pair you are running it on.

Try and avoid using it at times when the market is flat and choppy and the 200 runs through the middle. Rather turn on alerting only and check decisions manually. An undulating market works best for this EA and since it tries to find the big changes in trends a stop loss that affords it room to move will be required.

The settings for each pair will be unique, changing even one setting a small amount could lead to a big change. For some currency pairs only a break even and a high take profit are needed to maximize profits, with others a trailing stop loss and with others the alligator close. Back test at least a year try and optimize settings. Try and attain a Profit factor of 1.8 or higher with a relative drawdown of under 30%.

The screenshots of settings for 3 of the pairs on 4 hour time-frames have the settings I've found most optimum for those pairs.

Alligator

The settings for the alligator should not be changed. The reason for having them all configurable is if you want to use the teeth to close the trade as apposed to the lips. You could then set the lips settings to the same as the teeth.

The alligator setting are defaulted to the default alligator settings on metaTrader4.
