An MT5 expert advisor that reads the slope of a coloured moving average and opens a buy when it turns up or a sell when it turns down. It can optionally add a trade on each new candle while the slope holds. Trading carries risk.
Get one message the moment it launches, with its price.
This expert advisor automates a simple idea: follow the direction in which a moving average is sloping. When the average turns up it looks for a buy, when it turns down it looks for a sell, and a range of exit and risk options decide how each position is managed.
The EA reads a coloured moving average indicator that shows the slope visually, with one colour for a rising average and another for a falling one. A change in colour is the signal that the slope has reversed.
The second mode can stack several positions in the same direction, so total exposure can grow quickly in a long move. An offset input lets the entry be placed after a pullback instead of at the market price.
The EA can be attached to any symbol your broker offers, and presets are supplied for a number of instruments. The presets were prepared for a low-spread ECN-style account on a specific server time zone. If your broker uses a different time offset or wider spreads, review the time-related inputs and test again before trading live. Confirm the intended timeframe for each symbol from the preset you load.
Exact values depend on the preset and symbol, so check the input list in the terminal and the documentation supplied with the product. The main groups are shown below.
| Group | What to check |
|---|---|
| Moving average | Period, method and price used by the coloured indicator |
| Entry mode | Single trade per slope change or a new trade on each candle |
| Offset | Distance used to place entries after a retracement |
| Stop loss and take profit | Hard or virtual, fixed or based on Average Daily Range |
| Break-even and trailing | Activation and step levels |
| Basket | Combined take profit, stop loss, break-even and trailing in percent |
| Risk and lot size | Fixed lot or risk-based sizing, per symbol |
Keep risk per symbol low and remember that several same-direction positions may be open at once. Choose lot sizes and basket limits so that a run of losing trades does not threaten your account. Slope-following systems can produce repeated small losses in sideways markets.
Trading carries risk, and you can lose some or all of your capital. Past results, including backtests, do not predict future ones. Test on a demo account first.
The EA can run on a VPS, which helps keep it online without interruption.

No. This listing is the MetaTrader 5 build and will not load in MT4. Check that your broker offers an MT5 account before you buy.
Yes. The EA relies on a companion coloured moving average indicator, which has to be present in the Indicators folder of your MT5 data folder. Install it first, restart or refresh the terminal, then attach the EA.
Any MT5 broker can be used, but the supplied presets were tuned for a low-spread ECN-style account with a particular server time zone. On a different broker you may need to adjust time-related inputs and check spreads, stop levels and execution before trading live.
The EA does not increase lot size after losses. However, if you enable the option to add a same-direction trade on every new candle, several positions can build up during a long slope. Treat that as layered exposure, size it carefully and use the basket and stop settings.
Run the Strategy Tester on the symbol and timeframe you plan to use, using good-quality tick data and your broker's real spread. Then forward-test on a demo account. Backtest results do not predict future performance.
Updated files are made available through the store as part of your purchase. Download the latest package, replace the old files in your MT5 data folder and check your inputs, since new releases can add or change settings.
