Entry Logic:

This EA only verifies the entry signals when a new candlestick occurs. The robot places a new order when the following two conditions are met.

  • 1. Sell order: The previous candlestick opening price is lower than the moving average line
  • 2. Buy order: The previous candlestick closing price is higher than the moving average line

Exit logic:

The exit logic is also simple. An open order will be closed if the following two conditions are met (the opposite of the entry signal).

  • 1. The previous candle closing price is above the moving average line
  • 2. The previous candle closing price is below the moving average line

It’s important to keep in mind that it is possible for a large loss to be incurred during rapid market fluctuations as the price can quickly move far away from the moving average line under such conditions.
