Mr Lowry Pro

Mr. Lowry Pro is an automated trading system based on Scot Lowry moving average cross. This simple but effective method provides an optimal way to enter and exit the market by comparing the behavior of three moving averages, which combined with the advantages of an EA and the optimized parameters of SL and TP, results in a great automated trading tool.

important: The default input values for the Expert Advisor are optimized with historical data for the last 18 years for EUR / JPY in Main Period of 240 minutes. When you use this EA you should be aware that the results in the past are no guarantee of success in the future and that no one but yourself is responsible for any decisions or investment you make in the market.

Tip: The EA uses only opening prices so it is not necessary to optimize each Tick, I recommend always optimizing with the open price model "Open price only" in 1M period, regardless of the "Main Period" defined in the input variables. Make sure you have complete information for all periods in the metaTrader 4 history center.
