# EA1 — Simple Moving Average 12/26 Crossover Bot
|
|
|
|
**Timeframe:** M15 (15-Minute)
|
|
**Strategy:** SMA 12 / SMA 26 Crossover
|
|
**Platform:** MetaTrader 5 (MQL5)
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
## Indicator Setup
|
|
|
|
Two Simple Moving Averages (SMA) are applied to the **closing price** of each 15-minute candle:
|
|
|
|
| Line | Period | Role |
|
|
|------|--------|------|
|
|
| Fast SMA | 12 | Short-term momentum |
|
|
| Slow SMA | 26 | Long-term trend direction |
|
|
|
|
When the two lines **cross each other**, a trade signal is generated.
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
## Trade Entry Logic
|
|
|
|
Signals are confirmed only on **fully closed M15 bars** (no repainting).
|
|
The EA compares the last two closed bars to detect a fresh crossover.
|
|
|
|
### 🟢 BUY Signal
|
|
**Condition:** SMA 12 crosses **above** SMA 26
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
Bar [2]: SMA12 <= SMA26 (fast was below or equal to slow)
|
|
Bar [1]: SMA12 > SMA26 (fast is now above slow)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Action:**
|
|
1. Close any open **SELL** position immediately.
|
|
2. Open a **BUY** market order at the current **Ask** price.
|
|
3. Attach Stop Loss and Take Profit to the order (see below).
|

|
|
### 🔴 SELL Signal
|
|
**Condition:** SMA 12 crosses **below** SMA 26
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
Bar [2]: SMA12 >= SMA26 (fast was above or equal to slow)
|
|
Bar [1]: SMA12 < SMA26 (fast is now below slow)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Action:**
|
|
1. Close any open **BUY** position immediately.
|
|
2. Open a **SELL** market order at the current **Bid** price.
|
|
3. Attach Stop Loss and Take Profit to the order (see below).

|
|
|
## Stop Loss & Take Profit
|
|
|
|
Every trade is opened with a **fixed pip-based** Stop Loss and Take Profit calculated from the entry price.
|
|
|
|
| Level | Pips | Direction | Purpose |
|
|
|-------|------|-----------|---------|
|
|
| **Take Profit** | 1000 pips | In trade direction | Lock in profit when price moves favourably |
|
|
| **Stop Loss** | 500 pips | Against trade direction | Limit loss if price moves the wrong way |
|
|
|
|
### BUY Trade Levels
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
Entry = Ask price
|
|
|
|
Take Profit = Ask + 1000 pips (price rises 1000 pips → trade closes in profit)
|
|
Stop Loss = Ask - 500 pips (price drops 500 pips → trade closes at a loss)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### SELL Trade Levels
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
Entry = Bid price
|
|
|
|
Take Profit = Bid - 1000 pips (price drops 1000 pips → trade closes in profit)
|
|
Stop Loss = Bid + 500 pips (price rises 500 pips → trade closes at a loss)
|
|
```
|
|

|
|
|
|
## Trade Exit Logic
|
|
|
|
A trade is closed under **one of three conditions**:
|
|
|
|
| Condition | Type | Triggered By |
|
|
|-----------|------|-------------|
|
|
| Price hits **Take Profit** level | Profit exit | Broker / MT5 automatically |
|
|
| Price hits **Stop Loss** level | Loss exit | Broker / MT5 automatically |
|
|
| **Opposite crossover** signal fires | Signal exit | EA closes trade before opening new one |

## Notes
|
|
|
|
- **One trade at a time** — the EA never opens a second trade in the same direction.
|
|
- **New bar logic** — signals are only evaluated once per new M15 candle to prevent noise.
|
|
- **JPY pairs** — change `PipSize` to `0.01` when trading symbols like USDJPY or EURJPY.
|
|
- Always **backtest** in MetaTrader 5 Strategy Tester before running on a live account.
