Moving Average EA MT4 is an automated expert advisor that trades the direction of a moving average line. It reads a coloured moving average, treats a rising line as a buy signal and a falling line as a sell signal, and manages the resulting positions with a range of exit tools.
The EA watches the slope of the moving average. When the line turns up it can open a buy; when it turns down it can open a sell. In the simplest mode it places one trade per slope change. A second mode lets it add another trade in the same direction on every new candle for as long as the slope is unchanged.
An offset setting lets you place entries at a different price than the signal bar, which can be useful if you prefer to enter after a small retracement rather than at the turn itself.
Set files are provided for many symbols and were prepared for raw-spread accounts on servers using GMT+3 time. Each file carries its own timeframe and parameters, so use the one that matches the instrument you attach the EA to. On a different broker, check server time, spreads and symbol names, and adjust any time inputs as needed.
Exact input names and defaults can differ between builds, so read the inputs list in the terminal rather than relying on this summary. The areas to review are:
| Area | What to check |
|---|---|
| Entry mode | Single trade per slope change or a new trade on each candle |
| Offset | Distance from the signal price used for entry placement |
| Lot size and risk | Fixed lots or risk per symbol; keep it modest |
| SL and TP | Hard or virtual, and fixed or daily range based |
| Break-even and trailing | Per position and for the whole basket |
| Time settings | Match your broker's server time to the set file |
Allowing several same-direction entries while the slope holds can stack exposure in a single direction, much like a one-way grid. Set a basket stop and limit position size before enabling it. Trend-following systems can also suffer repeated small losses in ranging markets.
Trading carries risk, and you can lose more than you expect. Past results, including backtests, do not predict future ones. Test on a demo account before using real money.
Run it on a demo account first, and confirm lot size, stop levels and time settings before going live.

No. This edition is built for MetaTrader 4 only and will not load in MT5. If you trade on MT5, look for a separate MT5 edition of the product.
Yes. The EA reads a coloured moving average indicator, which must be installed in the MQL4 Indicators folder of your terminal before you test or run it. Check that you have it, then restart or refresh the terminal.
The supplied set files were prepared for raw-spread accounts on servers using GMT+3 time. Other brokers can be used, but you may need to adjust time-related inputs, and spreads and execution will differ. Test on a demo account first.
Yes, if you enable the option that adds a same-direction trade on each new candle while the slope stays unchanged. That increases exposure in one direction, so review lot size, basket limits and stop settings carefully before using it.
Start with the set file that matches your symbol and load it through the Inputs tab. Then confirm lot size, risk per symbol, stop levels and time settings against your own account before trading live.
Yes. An expert advisor needs the terminal running continuously, so a VPS with MT4 installed is a common choice. Copy the EA, the indicator and your set files to the VPS terminal as well.
