How it works
The Expert Advisor uses the iMA (Moving Average, MA) indicator. It compares the open price of bar #0 and the Moving Average values on bars #0 and #1. If there is already an open position in the direction of the new signal, this signal will be ignored. The Expert Advisor performs operation on every tick.
Signals
BUY opening signal
: bar #0 Open price is below MA #0
AND
the ASK price is below MA #0
AND
MA #1 is below MA #0.
SELL opening signal
: bar #0 Open price is above MA #0
AND
the BID price is above than MA #0
AND
MA #1 is above MA #0.
A position is closed when an opposite signal occurs, i.e. a SELL position will be closed upon the emergence of a BUY signal.
