⚙️ Customization of Trading Settings

You can adjust some key parameters inside MetaTrader 5 after attaching the EA:

• Fast EMA Period: Change how quickly the EA reacts to price changes. Default is 12.
• Slow EMA Period: Sets the slower moving average period. Default is 26.
• Stop Loss (pips): Protects your account by closing a trade if price moves unfavorably.
• Take Profit (pips): Sets the level to lock in profit automatically.
• Lot Size: Adjust the size of each trade. Start small to manage risk.
• Max Spread: Maximum allowed spread to avoid trading in high-cost conditions.

You can change these when attaching the EA or reopen settings by right-clicking on the chart and selecting Expert Advisors > Properties.

🛠 How It Works

The EA uses two exponential moving averages:

• Fast EMA reacts quicker to price changes.
• Slow EMA reacts slower and shows the trend.

When the fast EMA crosses above the slow EMA, it opens a buy trade. When the fast crosses below the slow, it opens a sell trade. Stop loss and take profit help protect each trade based on your settings.

The EA checks signals and places trades every hour, matching the H1 timeframe.
