This is a long-term Expert Advisor. The trades remain open from one week to one month. The EA applies Moving Averages and oscillators. During the tests in the strategy tester with the default parameters, the EA obtained good results on EURUSD H4. The EA implements two money management methods: fixed lot and fixed proportional one. The EA was optimized on EURUSD on 2010-2011 time interval. The screenshots display the EA test results from 2009 up to February 2015 (fixed volume and fixed proportional money management method were used).
