Description & Settings
Attention! The Expert Advisor will only work on the M15 timeframe!
Short-term trends. The Expert Advisor uses two iMA indicators and one iStochastic.
System rules:
Compare the moving averages on the 15-minute and 1-hour chart. Trend exists if price on both charts is above or below the moving average.
Once you have identified the trend, analyze the 15-minute chart for compliance with its two conditions (both of them must be met at the same time):
the price should be no more than 20 points above (to buy) or no more than 20 pips below (to sell) the moving average;
the stochastic line should cross the stochastic line below the stochastic level 20 (to buy) or cross the stochastic line down above the level of 80 (to sell).
