Description & Settings
Two main iMA (Moving Average, MA) indicators with periods 85 and 75 are calculated using Low prices, the third iMA (Moving Average, MA) with the period 5 is calculated based on Close prices.
A position is opened when the fast iMA (Moving Average, MA) with period 5 crosses both slow iMAs. An additional factor is MACD's position above zero for an up trade, or its growth.
Two MAs are needed for visual trading. A small take profit is used, 15-20 points depending on currency volatility. Someone might say that this is a too small amount. But if you trade a large lot on multiple pairs, the results can be very good. The stop loss of 10-15 points is rarely hit.
