It executes sell orders when the oscillator crosses below the overbought level during a closing bar, and buy orders when it crosses above the oversold level during a closing bar.The weightoscillator_htf indicator is integrated within the EA solely for trend visualization purposes within the Strategy Tester. It remains inactive in other operational modes.
To ensure the EA functions independently, the weightoscillator.ex5 and weightoscillator_htf.ex5 indicator files are embedded as resources directly into the compiled EA file (`exp_weightoscillator.ex5`). This means you do not need to manually place the indicator files in your terminal's MQL5 indicators folder for the EA to work.
The included `tradealgorithms.mqh` library supports EAs functioning with brokers offering non-zero spreads and the ability to set Stop Loss and Take Profit concurrently with position opening.
Default EA input parameters were utilized for the testing period. Stop Loss and Take Profit were not applied during these tests.
