Hello,

I know lots of you guys have tested and retested all MA crossing combination.

Some time ago I tested some MA crossing, and I was always surprised to see that backtest result were always better with Simple moving average.

The system below is quite simple; on 5 Min EUR/USD (from 10th oct 2005)

- fast 60 SMA crossing up slow 180 SMA + 16 Points at close

- fast 60 SMA crossing down slow 180 SMA - 16 Points at close

Take profit = 24
Stop Loss = 68

This sytem does about 50 trades in the last 4 month, double the account if backtested from 10 October to 1 feb.

You can backtest it before october 2005 and you will that he looses money, but my question is:

Would not be better to find different setting for some market condition and adapt those setting dinamically depending on market range, trending or sideways.
I attached the simple mq4, I hope it can help someone, and I am ready to listen to advise to how improve this really simple EA with simple moving average.

Thanks
Bernard
