Thank you very much Mark for your effort to present us your ideas, backtest and the indicators.
I think we are all learning from each other which makes this place a great forum.
so to sum up your system:

- When the fast MA (12) crosses from below the slow MA (65) you buy

- When the fast MA (12) crosses from above the slow MA (65) you sell

3 level of take profit: 25 50 and 75
No stop loss ?

When I checked your manual backtesting I notice that when taking price, you didnot take Open or close of the next bar but at the exact cross ?
I am not sure if you woul be able to reproduce this in forward testing.

Ex: the cross for the EUR/USD on the 6th of January 1H 14:00 GTM, you close your sell at 1.2112, I am not sure in real time you would have closed that trade at that price and may have closed it at the bar close 1.2161.
I mean this is a bit extreme but your profit can go quite quickly in this case.

I am not here to argue, I think it is interesting so lets start this indicator + EA.
Thanks for sharing.
