eur/usd 2m MA Candle strategi

Magnusal · 2017-04-26T19:19:45+00:00

Im new to Pro Real Code so im asking if anyone can help me build a simple strategi (i think its simple:-) Long position when a candle open above ma in 2min EUR/USD and sell when a candle crosses MA with X margin and the other way around for shorts. Maybe its wise to separate this 2 strategis so you can use only one when it is a strong trend. Great if anyone can put me in the right direction building this strategi Magnus

Hi Magnus Welcome to the forum. What is the period for the moving average. Do you want to exit when it crosses back below that MA by a certain margin. Thanks

Here you go buddy
```
// px-dx-test 
// --------------

// -- System parameters --
DEFPARAM preLoadBars = 1000

// -- Variables --
once positionSize = 1
// maType = 0
// maPeriod = 20
// deathCrossMargin = 20
// price = close  // could be high | low | typicalprice etc etc

// -- Indicators -----
MA = average[maPeriod, maType](price)

// -- long entry conditions -----
bc1 = not longOnMarket and close crosses over MA

// -- long exit conditions -----
le1 = longOnMarket and price <= (MA - deathCrossMargin)

// -- execution -----
if bc1 then
buy positionSize shares at market
elsif le1 then
sell at market
endif
```
Have fun with the variable optimizer and different instruments.

Small Change You have to multiply Margin bu pipsize else its subtracting margin which is 20 from MA value.

// -- long exit conditions -----
le1 = longOnMarket and price <= (MA - deathCrossMargin*pipsize)

// -- execution -----
if bc1 then
buy positionSize shares at market
elsif le1 then
sell at market
endif
