Description & Settings

the mq l5 wizard allows users to create the code of expert advisors automatically. this strategy is based on three moving averages, known as signals based on three ema. to determine the trend, it uses three exponentially smoothed moving averages: fastema, mediumema, and slowema.Also recommended: Quantora Trade Manager MT5: Advanced Position Management - similar expert with strong performance on MetaTrader 5.
trade signals are generated as follows: buy signal when fastema is greater than mediumema and mediumema is greater than slowema, indicating an upward trend. sell signal when fastema is less than mediumema and mediumema is less than slowema, indicating a downward trend.
the strategy is implemented in the csignal3ema class, which has protected methods to simplify access to the values of the three moving averages. the indicator values of the 0th bar may change, so it is necessary to perform the checking of trade conditions using the completed bars data.
to open a long position, the upward trend is determined by the condition: fastema is greater than mediumema and mediumema is greater than slowema. to close a long position, the downward trend is determined by the condition: fastema is less than mediumema and mediumema is less than slowema. however, it is not necessary to wait for the downward trend to close a long position, as it can be closed when the trend is flat, determined by the condition: fastema is less than mediumema and mediumema is greater than slowema.
similarly, to open a short position, and to close a short position, the conditions are reversed. the closing of a short position can also be improved by closing when the trend is flat, determined by the condition: fastema is greater than mediumema and mediumema is less than slowema.
to create an expert advisor using the mql5 wizard, users need to choose the signal properties as signals based on three ema, specify the needed algorithm and system, and the code of the expert advisor will be created automatically. the expert advisor can then be compiled and tested in the metatrader 5 client terminal.
backtesting results of the expert advisor on historical data show the performance of the strategy. the signal3ema.mqh file with the csignal3ema class must be placed in the terminal_data_folder\mql5\include\expert\signal directory. the threeema.mq5 file contains the code of the expert advisor created using the mql5 wizard.
