About the Moving Average Cross EA
The MA Cross EA (MA Crossover EA) uses two moving average to trade. A buy signal is generated if the faster moving average crosses the slower moving average from below. Vice versa for a sell trade.
MA Crossover is a very popular and simple trading strategy. This MA Cross EA allows you to trade Simple, Exponential, Smoothed and Linear-weighted Moving Averages for the fast and slow MA. You can also choose the Applied Price for both MAs.

Hi, After installing Moving Average Cross EA I get message saying it is not a custom indicator and will be removed in MT4 journal. Any ideas please? Thanks.
You have to add it to the MQL4/experts folder since it is an Expert Advisor
Sorry my mistake, thanks.
I don’t know why, but it doesn’t seem to be opening a trade on every cross over. Is this intended? Default settings yield a lot of crossovers being unopened.
There is probably something wrong with your settings. Please open a new topic in the forum to help you.
hello yancik, I bought Movavig Average Cross Pro, first I tried to get demo and already several trading, for the past three days I tried to get real estate and demo account no trading at all, what’s the problem, please ask if the problem is in the settigan or VPS, I use 15M Time Frame , Thanks
Maybe the spread on your real account is higher? Do you see some errors in the journal or experts tab?
I use the pepperstone broker, the highest spread is 4 points on the major curency, I set the max spread 5, there is no error in the EA journal, now I am trying to change the VPS, I’ll let you know the results again.
Ok. Let me know if it works with a new VPS.
Change VPS, Work well, and my first Trading on Real account, Profit 25 Pip = $ 25, Thanks
Hi I purchased the pro version and I’m just wondering when does the EA open a trade? when there are two moving average crossovers? if so, where are these settings please? thanks.
Yes, on a crossover. The EA does this already using only the default settings. Try it in the visual mode of the strategy tester to test it.

Unfortunately, I do not make custom modification anymore.
Interesting…..This is how I trade now, but manually, short term in AM, est. I would like the automation ability. How many pair can be auto- traded at one time. R there any time limitations like( 8:00 – 16:00)

Hello Yannick,
Moving avarage crosss ea pro is really perfect expert advisor and running in my metatreader 4 without any error. As i see in the expert, you have put ATR trail. if you want to improve the EA you can put ATR take profit in same logic with ATR trail. Even you can put ATR multipiler function. This function will optimize our TP point and set up TP according to market moves.
Thank you very much for such a good EA.
Ozturk
Glad you like the EA.
Unfortunately, I do not make custom modifications anymore.
Hi,
Does the EA take into account 4 and 5 digits broker quotes?
Yes it does.
Can you please provide documentation for each parameters and also if you any any recommended settings /set file
Take a look at the functions glossary. Unfortunately, I do not provide any settings.
Hi Yannick,
I want to commend you for good job with these EAs and indicators. I purchase the moving average across ea and been working on getting a profitable setting, I have one that makes a considerable profit but still needs to filter out some trades, I was wondering if you sell the source code to the ea so I can make some adjustments, also I was wondering if I can send you the set file of the setting I have for you to do a back test on your end. Thanks and have a nice day
Wale
Thanks.
Unfortunately, I do not sell the source code.
I do not offer a backtest service, but you can share your settings with other in the forum if you like.
Hello….Whats happens if Break even , and Trailing stop both are active ? I cant imagine both working together…. Can you explain with more details?
They do work both together. If both are active, the SL will always be at the lowest value.
do you accept bitcoin as payment i want to buy few ea and indicators ?
No, I do not accept bitcoin.
Which currency pairs can I use for EA and also the timeframe please?
All Symbols and Pairs.
Hi.
can we use 3 moving average cross?
thank you
No, only 2 and 1 filter MA.
How we can see the results of your EA.
and what is the prices.
I do not have any statistics about the performance of the EA. The price is 39.90 for the pro version.
Hello Yannick, I bought this Moving Average cross Pro, but the ReverseOnOppositeSignal function did not work on the actual account, only on the backtest, what could have happened? This function is very important for my strategy, thank you!
Maybe a problem with the maxSpread filter? If the spread is too high, the EA will not reverse the position, it only closes it.
Hi
If I get the Pro version and set
ReverseOn OppositeSignal, can I also set a SL and TP, and if neither is hit, will it still close the trade at next crossover and reopen a new trade?
Yes, this is what it does.
Hello, I just bought the ea and I have been testing it with the martingale option (2.0 multiplier). I noticed that multiple times it does not open an increased trade after a loss, and sometimes it jumps from 0.1 to 0.4, and then 0.8 and stays 0.8 for a lot of trades even though they are losing trades.
Please advise.
Thank you
This is strange. Please open a new topic on the forum and provide your settings.
Just purchased the PRO version and I am confused about the martingale settings….specifically the “martingale value” setting. It is defaulted to 0.2. What exactly does that mean? I read the settings info but still don’t understand.
Lets say I want to do a max of 3 martingales. So I start with .01 lot and if loss occurs on next signal I want it to double lot to .02. Then if it loses again it would double to .04 lots and stop (3 max). What would I set the settings at?
I have played around with the settings but it just keeps trading .01 lot when it reverses. I have the “reverse” set to “false” and martingale to “true”
I guess you use martingal in conjunction with the reverseOnOppositeSignal function?
Based on the documentation this is not possible: “The Martingale function is not compatible with the ReverseOnOppositeSignal function since the positions opened by the ReverseOnOppositeSignal will always have the same lotSize as the initial position.”
Hi Yannick,
I was trying to optimize the MA cross EA however I am still failing to get the good results. Could you please let me know the best inputs for this EA. I have purchased this EA just a week ago.
Unfortunately, I do not have any settings. Have you read the optimization guide?
https://quivofx.com/school/metatrader-4-strategy-tester/
Yes I tried as per the optimization guide and with different values, however still not working for me.
Hi, does this EA works on Renko Chart? If not, could you make it please. Thanks a lot
I personally have not tested it on a renko chart. But some users say it works well on the renko chart of ovo.cz
Hi Yannick,
Since i did not see the setting of this EA,
Is it working with Exponential Moving Average (EMA)? And is it working if TP only when it cross again, and soon opening new position without waiting the next bar closed first?
Thanks
Yes, you can choose to use an EMA if you want.
You can choose if you want to use SL, TP or if you want to use an exit strategy (closeOnSignal) or a function called reverseOnOppositeSignal.
If you set tradeOnNewBar = true, the EA will wait for a new bar to close before opening a new trade.
Hello,
I’d like to purchase MA cross ea. Is there any new version released soon? what is the default value setting for fast and slow? can we change both value and use ea as my setting properly?
Thanks
There will be no new version release soon. Yes, you can change all values of the MAs.
hi i was using this moving cross ea and using the stradegy testing it uesteday and today and everything was good… now when i try to use it and it runs but when it crosses it dont take the trade now….
Could it be because of the spread filter? Can you check it?
hello again
I want to ask if I can set the robot to put on
stop at the bottom of the day
The included time filter together with the AutoCloseTimer Tool should do the trick:
Hi,
how close the trade ? when and how ? Thanks
The trade can either be closed by the SL/TP, exitStrategy, reverseOnOppositeSignal or one of the different trailing functions.
Hi,
I changed in the settings MAs to 10 and 25 EMA but still on chart 20 and 40 SMA. Please advice
You have to change both, the MAs on the chart and the EA settings.
Hello Yannick! how r y?
May I know if you get to programmer a stategy based on 2 EMA in a Timeless Graphic Renko(R) and Range(N)? for a Meta Trade 5? Do you get it?
Regards,
Gilvan Pires
No, I do not plan to programme this.
Moving Average Cross EA!
where can I write to tell you exactly what I want as extra stuff?
Unfortunately, at the moment I do not make custom modifications.
Hello Yanick,
I want the EA to open the initial trade immediately in the direction of the already crossed over direction. After that it can follow the crossover rule. Is it possible in the pro version or does it need customization.
Thanks
No, it has to wait for a signal first to open a trade.
Hi Yannick
I would like to buy your Moving Avg Cross but I need one adjustment to the Filters.
You can use the forum to open a discussion about the MA Cross EAs filter settings.
Can the EA immediately open the first trade long or short depending on the position of the MAs, instead of waiting for the MAs to cross.
No, it will wait for a cross signal first.
Hello guys
I’m gold trader and looking for an EA apply to gold product.
Which EA indicator is more suitable for it??
Thank you
Renee
All indicators should work on gold. I have no statistics about which works best on gold.
Hi Yannick,
I’ve the ma cross ea pro but what’s the difference between ” reverse on signal” and ” close on signal ” ? What does the close on signal exactly do ?
Thx
The “reverse on signal” will close a trade and open a new trade is the opposite direction as soon as there is a signal.
The “close on signal” is a simple exit strategy, where the EA will close the trade on a new cross. This is useful if you use a trend filter at the same time.
Hello Yannick,
You planned to add an additional filter for this EA, I tinkered one myself. And the result is really good. Your filter ADX is you he planned on this ea?
I put personally, a filter RSI and it walks very well. It works in zone and the cross of MA in this zone. for example RSI 60-70. Because The main problem which I meet, and I owe absolutely the filter, it is when MA crosses in range when there in a horizontal way. Please tell me do you think about that. Sorry for my english
No, at the moment I do not plan to include an RSI filter.
hello,
I have a suggestion, in added in option of the ea, the choice of the order to buy or to sell. And a cycle of signal, an example to wait for one or two or three signal for take position.
tanks
Thanks for your suggestions. Unfortunately, at the moment I am very busy and not able to add more functions to this EA.
Can you customize this MA Crossing EA for Binary Options trading?
No, unfortunately not.
thats ma 20 and 40. mere looking at the chart, this only work in a trending market. it will be so awful in a ranging market
Yes, you can use the MA Trend Filter to filter the current market trend.
Please, how can I use the MA trend filter feature correctly?
It is described in the function glossary.
My license for MA EA Pro has expired.
Log in to your account and download the newest version for there.
Hello Yannik,
Great work you are doing. Your MA CrossOver EA is of interest to me and I want to buy but I need clarification on the the statement
“The license of every Expert Advisor you download is time limited, but you can re-download newer versions any time in your purchase history.”
What does ‘Time Limited’ mean?
Thanks
Once a year you have to login on quivofx and download the newest version in your account for free.
Hello Yannick!
I really liked the features of Curious Chameleon EA v3.2 because it has 3 EMA’s I can configure, but I cannot seem to find the download anywhere, including downloading from Market in Metatrader. The Moving Average Cross EA Pro is close, but I really need the 3 EMA’s. Do you know how I can get a download, please?
Thank you.
Best regards,
Walter
The CC EA not available anymore. You can add third MA (MA Filter) in the MA Cross EA. It has the same function as the CC EA had.
Thanks for the quick reply! I will try the MA Cross EA. I think it will still work for me. Yes, the filter MA makes 3 MA’s, but the CC had 4 MA’s – 3 MA’s plus filter MA.
Keep up the great work!
Oh, I forgot that the CC had 4 MAs.
Thanks, I will 🙂
Hi , i am testing the EA , and is there a way to trade only the cross .. open when cross and close the previous and open the new one on cross ???
Yes, you should use the ReverseOnOppositeSignal for this.
ive done some extensive back testing. I cannot turn off the trailing stop and make the EA take the stop loss amount or the take profit amount without the trail interfering, even with the settings set to 0. can you have a look please?
If you set UseTrailingStop to false, the trailing stop should be turned off.
Hi Yannick, thanks for the reply. Yes its set to false. Still using trailing as the profit is always different etc.
I’m not sure what you mean. Can you please open a new topic in the forum and provide screenshots and settings?
Hello Yannik,
Is it possible to filter MA cross with ATR level in order to avoid range in pro version
Thank you
You can order a custom modification.
Yes,…. but mine first… !!
😉
😀
Hello, i can’t make it work, my MT4 wouldn’t recognize it, any thoughts?
Have you installed it correctly? Do you see some errors in the journal or experts tab?
will it work if i add a shift to the moving averages ?
Yes, it will work if you set a positive shift.
Hello yannnick. could you make MA trend filter by filtering the color of MA line? for example
long position: MA up – Green
Short position: MA down – red
I do not intend to add this feature. Maybe consider a custom modification.
I am looking for a EA that will take trades on a cross of two moving averages (EMA) and stay in the trade till the next time they cross again and reverse position to stay in the other trade. Do you have anything like that? thanks
Yes, you can use the pro version with EMAs and the reverseOnOppositeSignal function.
Hi Yannick
Moving Average Cross EA is about: simple moving average or Exponential Moving Average ?
Or there is option to choose which one I want ?
And also is it possible to open multiple positions and set up different take profits ?
and is it any filter like ADX ?
Yes, you can choose between SMA, EMA, SMMA and LWMA.
The EA does only open one trade at the time, but can attach the EA multiple time to a chart with different settings.
No the Moving Average Cross EA does not include a ADX filter by default.
“The EA does only open one trade at the time, but can attach the EA multiple time to a chart with different settings.”
Hey Yannick,
I just wanted some clarification – could I theoretically attach this EA to separate EUR/USD 1H, 4H, and D charts? If so, would I need to change any settings (Magic Number?) to make it work?
Yes, exactly. You can attach an EA multiple time on the same symbol, but each time with its own Magic Number
Hello Yannick.. Looks like your product is interesting.. I would like to purchase the PRO version
Yannick, I puchased the PRO version of the Moving Average Crossover EA, and need instructions for the settings. The instructions that you provide on this website relate to a different version, as there isn’t a Max Open Orders, or Max Open Trades on the Pro version 1.01 EA that I received.
Thanks,
Greg
That’s right, the MaxOpenTrades function is not included in the MA Cross EA. Only the functions displayed in the “included functions table” are included. For all included funtions you will find instructions in the functions glossary.
Hi Yannick, can it be set (PRO) so that entry is not greater than say 20 pips from crossover, sometimes with moving EA xover price action in high volatility pulls the the fast over the slow to just retreat and not revisit that price point. Thanks.
Currently it is not possible to set it like this.
How does the ma trend filter actually work?
And this is a ma cross ea – can the moving averages which actually cross be changed by the user?
Thanks again…
If you use the Trend Filter, the EA will only open long positions if the current price is a above the Filter. Vice versa for short.
You can change all parameters of all 3 MAs.
Hello, the pro Moving Average Cross EA can be used in demo account, the pro version is a license or a definitive version.
Any file you download is time-limited, but you can download a new version at any moment in your account.
Is the Expert Advisor trading also the MA cross or only the next bar after the cross? Is made also to trade Oil and DAX etc?
Depends on the TradeOnNewBar settings. Yes, it trades all symbols.
Hi,
Thank you for your great moving average crossover expert advisor,
But can I know what is MA Trend filter ?
Thank you .
It’s a Moving Average trend filter. The EA only opens long trades if the price is above this MA. Vice Versa
hi, using the MA Cross EA, what is meant my,
. inverse strategy
. reverse on opposite signal
. close on signal
You’ll find the documentation here.
Hello,
Why does this EA exit the trade so early? Looking at the pictures on this page, it seems to exit well before the lines have crossed. Will this be fixed in a later update?
I’m very interested in buying this bot.
Thanks
Sean
The Moving Average Cross EA does only open a trade on a crossover. He does not close a trade on a crossover.
The PRO version of this EA, which I will add before October, will have a CloseOnSignal (close trade if the MAs crosses again) function and a ReverseOnOppositeSignal (reverses the open position if there is a entry signal in the other direction) function.
Yannick, How much is the PRO version of this Moving Average Cross EA, which , will have a CloseOnSignal (close trade if the MAs crosses again) function and a ReverseOnOppositeSignal (reverses the open position if there is a entry signal in the other direction) function. ETC.
James
Hello,
Is this implemented in the PRO version now ? If yes, is there any chance that trail version is available ?
“The PRO version of this EA, which I will add before October, will have a CloseOnSignal (close trade if the MAs crosses again) function and a ReverseOnOppositeSignal (reverses the open position if there is a entry signal in the other direction) function.”
Yes, it is implemented now. This post is one year old :D.
Yes, I will send you a test version per mail.
