Also recommended: GBPJPY Monday Strategy: Simple Weekly Long Trade - similar expert with strong performance on MetaTrader 5.

This Expert Advisor (EA) is designed to execute trades based on the intersection of two moving averages (MA). It aims to provide a straightforward implementation for users interested in exploring trading theories.

The EA utilizes two specific moving averages: the Weighted Moving Average (WMA) with a period of 8 and the Exponential Moving Average (EMA) with a period of 28.

Trading Logic:
- When the WMA 8 crosses above the EMA 28, an upward (buy) position is opened.
- When the WMA 8 crosses below the EMA 28, a downward (sell) position is opened.

Position Management:
- Once a position is opened, Take Profit and Stop Loss orders are set at 50 points from the opening price. The Stop Loss calculation includes the spread.

Trading Recommendations:
- Trade using a fixed deposit size of 10% with a leverage of 1:100.
- This system may not be suitable for all currency pairs.

Trend Reversal Handling:
- If the trend reverses and the WMA crosses the EMA in the opposite direction of the currently opened position, the EA will open a new position in the direction of the prevailing trend. The previous position will be closed, and new Take Profit and Stop Loss orders will be placed accordingly.

This EA is intended for theoretical verification and does not guarantee profitability or the preservation of capital. Please use with caution and test thoroughly in a demo environment before trading on a live account.
