Linear Weighted MA-Cross

The Linear Weighted MA-Cross EA buys and sells depending on the relationship of two Linear Weighted Moving Averages: one “fast” and one “slow.” The Linear Weighted Moving Average is used because of the emphasis it places on recent price data compared with the Simple Moving Average.

BUYING LOGIC

When the “fast” Linear Weighted Moving Average crosses above the “slow” a buy trade is opened.

Note: The trade is closed by a stop or a limit, whose price is defined by the user. All trades open at the close of the current candle. The EA only opens one trade at a time, regardless of the number of crossovers that occur.

SELLING LOGIC

When the “fast” Linear Weighted Moving Average crosses below the “slow” a sell trade is opened.

Note: The trade is closed by a stop or a limit, whose price is defined by the user. All trades open at the close of the current candle. The EA only opens one trade at a time, regardless of the number of crossovers that occur.
