After a moving average that opens a long when crosses over and short when crosses under.

I have found alot of strategies that require fast and slow inputs but im looking to auto trade just off one.

ability to send alerts also.
ability to set the trade entry to eigher. crosses, crosses or touches, crosses above, crosses above or touches, crosses below, crosses below or touches.

Hey mate,

Im trying to run it on a demo account and cant get it to work.

It ran in trade optimizer and on backtest and when i dropped the ema i used on the backtest chart it triggered when it should have. But for some reason i cant get it to trade. I have attached the Strategy setup i have been using below.

Maybe these trades just got rejected? Try to use the default parameters.

why would the trades have been rejected? what causes that. I had 20 different instances of the strategy set up and none of them triggered.

If it works in the backtest and optimazation why wouldnt it work in trading station when i set it ot trade.

strategy works but doesn't seen to like any EMA above 200. which is still fine and actually traded successfully for me on 200. I did successfully open some trades at 250 but not consistantly? but thats ok.

One other thing i noticed that was on this strategy was Trade Copying.

is it possible to impliment this so the strategy copy trades on other FXCM accounts. I noticed is has the field Send Command To Another Platform. Can it be set up to esentially to recieve. Essentially creating a MotherShip account. That then sends signals to other accounts.

With FXCM higher leverage can be traded on the mini account but once is goes over 20k the leverage goes down massivly decreaseing the rate of growth. If you can copy the trade to another account you could have as many accounts as you want trading at higher leverage while only having to setup and manage strategies on the MotherShip account.


cheers
