This strategy is a port of the MQL4 "Lego_v3" expert advisor.
It combines several classic indicators to generate entries and exits:
Moving Averages – fast and slow SMA to detect trend direction.
Stochastic Oscillator – %K and %D values define oversold and overbought zones.
Awesome Oscillator – confirms momentum alignment with the trend.
Average True Range – determines stop-loss and take-profit distances.
A long position is opened when the fast MA crosses above the slow MA, the Stochastic %K is below the buy level, and the Awesome Oscillator is positive.
Short positions occur under opposite conditions. ATR is used once at the beginning to start protective stop management.
Parameters
FastMaPeriod – period for the fast moving average.
SlowMaPeriod – period for the slow moving average.
StochK – %K period for the Stochastic oscillator.
StochD – %D period for the Stochastic oscillator.
StochBuy – buy zone threshold for %K.
StochSell – sell zone threshold for %K.
AtrPeriod – period for ATR calculation.
AtrMultiplier – multiplier applied to ATR for stop levels.
CandleType – time frame of processed candles.
