Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Why is my EA not opening trades? A: Check the "AutoTrading" button, ensure "Allow live trading" is enabled, and verify your broker allows automated trading on your account type.

Description & Settings
Two identical trading systems (for long and short positions) based on the signals of the indicator, which can be configured in different ways within one Expert Advisor. For this purpose, all input parameters can be divided into two large groups:
Those having names starting with L are input parameters to manage long positions;
Those starting with S are input parameters to manage short positions.
These two trading systems use different magic numbers and are absolutely independent on each other. Real financial markets are rarely symmetric. Absolutely different parameters of the same trading system are often needed for trading in the rising and falling market. To properly configure the EA, you should first test only one trading system, having disabled the second one using relevant switches.
Upon that, perform the same for the second system.
For the EA to operate, you should place the compiled indicator file
Slow-Stoch.ex5
to terminal_data_older\MQL5\Indicators.
The EA default input parameters were used in tests below. Stop Loss and Take Profit were not used in testing.
