    The cTrader Moving Average Crossover Strategy is a very commonly used system to help traders find the middle of a trend that defines price action in which prices move in a specific direction over a while.  Generally, trends are either upward or downward, as sideways movements are considered consolidation and not trends.  

     

    How Do We Capture a Trend?

    • Short-term trends can be captured using short-term moving averages.
    • Long-term trends can be captured using long-term moving averages.
    • An example is a 5-day moving average of the EURUSD crosses above the 20-day moving average of the same symbol.
     

    What Is a Fast and Slow Moving Average?

    The fast-moving average is a short-term moving average and the period value must be lower than the slow-moving average period. A moving average, as a single line, is often overlaid on price charts to indicate price trends. A crossover occurs when a faster-moving average crosses the slower-moving average.

    What makes this trading system so different is that you can choose the period, type and source for the fast and slow-moving average indicators which are used to enter and exit the trades.

    You can choose 8 different types of moving averages for each indicator, so you can mix a simple MA with an exponential MA.

    2. Exponential
    3. Time-series

    Read The User Guide

    When you first use this trading system you may need a little help.

     

    Email & PopUp Alerts

    If you turn on either the email or the popup alert then when a signal occurs and a position opens you will be informed that this event has occurred, you also have the option to turn off auto-trading and use this just as a signal system.

     

    Instant Telegram Message Alerts

    You can configure this trading robot to also send instant Telegram alerts direct to your PC, Tablet or mobile phone.

     

    Trading Hours

    This is very important and will vary from symbol to symbol, with XAUUSD there is unpredictable volatility at certain times of the day, for example, heavy trading could happen in the morning or late afternoon, this is why the parameters we use are 09:00 - 13:00 GMT. If trading hours are used then the robot will only open positions during the set hours, but it will continue to manage the trailing stop, take profits and stop losses at all times.
