Ma2Cci Ema Strategy

Dual exponential moving average crossover strategy confirmed by a Commodity Channel Index (CCI) zero-line break. Position size and stop placement are derived from Average True Range (ATR) volatility and a configurable risk percentage.

Details

  • Data: Time-based candles (default 1 hour) supplied by the selected Candle Type parameter.
  • Entry: Go long when the fast EMA crosses above the slow EMA and CCI crosses above zero on the same bar; go short on the opposite crossover with CCI breaking below zero.
  • Exit: Close longs when the fast EMA crosses back below the slow EMA or price touches the fixed stop; close shorts when the fast EMA crosses above the slow EMA or price hits the short stop.
  • Risk: Stop distance equals the greater of ATR (length AtrPeriod) or MinStopPoints multiplied by the instrument price step. Trade size is the portfolio value times RiskPercent, divided by that stop distance.
  • Instruments: Trend-following forex or index symbols that support hedging in the original MetaTrader version; also applicable to other assets with clear momentum swings.
  • Environment: Designed for continuous session markets where EMA/CCI signals align with ATR-based risk controls.

Parameters

  • CandleType – Timeframe and data type used for calculations and order flow.
  • FastMaPeriod – Period of the fast EMA (default 10).
  • SlowMaPeriod – Period of the slow EMA (default 37).
  • CciPeriod – Lookback of the CCI oscillator confirming momentum (default 39).
  • AtrPeriod – ATR length used to estimate current volatility for stop placement (default 3).
  • RiskPercent – Fraction of current portfolio equity risked per trade (default 2%).
  • MinStopPoints – Minimum stop distance expressed in price steps to emulate the MetaTrader pip filter (default 15).

Notes

  • Works best when run on liquid pairs and indices where EMA/CCI crossings are reliable; thin markets can trigger premature exits.
  • Because stops are recalculated only on entry, the strategy keeps the risk profile stable and mirrors the fixed stop-loss logic from the original MQL expert.
  • Portfolio valuation must be provided by the connected account for the position sizing to operate; otherwise the engine falls back to the strategy Volume or instrument minimum volume.
