Instead of relying on the intersection of fast and slow moving averages (MAs), the strategy utilizes their directional movement. The signal is confirmed by the crossover of the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) with its zero level and the slope of the MA, measured as pips per tick.
The MA shift parameter adjusts the vertical distance between the fast and slow MAs.
The EA offers two trailing stop options: traditional or fractal-based.
Optimization was conducted using OHLC prices from 2026, and testing was performed in the every tick mode using data from 2026-2023.
