21 crossing 200 EMA 24 hours trading robot

the first robot trading the 21 with the 200 ema cross was successful trading in the US session. The obvious question is how the same program will perform trading 24 hours a day.

Emas Cross 21 – 200 Running 24 hours

2010 historical tests:

January 74.54
February 169.79
March 157.25
April -7.36
May 68.80
June 184.57

——————————–
578.79

Results are impressive, but there was a mont5h with losses (april), small ones but losses.  in this case the robot should run 24 hours a day as it makes more money than in the US session only.

EMAs Cross Robotic Trading

This is an edge i was always trying to use when i was trading manually.  Without the discipline problems this robot will just execute a trade when the 21 EMA Cross the 200 EMA up or down side.
At the same time the EA opens a SL and a TP of 20 pips and it stays in the market until one of the 2 gets executed.

Emas Cross 21 – 200

Here is a nice image of what the robot can do in action, simple but effective:

Lets see how he can do it in the strategy tester, for the US session, euro-dollar market:

January 35.84
February 50.99
March 78.93
April 17.14
May 92.30
June 95.00

——————————
370.2

this is great, even if it doesn’t look as much earnings this program made profits every month, it never had a month with losses.
Risk seems small too i will have to learn how to calculate risk.
I will make some tweaks to this program, i will also test it 24 hours. i am seeing in the internet that there is the possibility to have dedicated windows hosting for mql to don’t rely on my own internet connection and local problems so the 24 hours trading is still a possibility.

I am glad to see some light at the end of the tunnel and have something that can really work, i think i am in the right path.

21 Ema Crossing 55 Ema

Continue with my research of the odd of the EMA crosses, here i am making a trade when the 21 ema cross the 55 ema in what it can be indicating the end of a short time trend to the upside.

Getting in  short at 9:21 am EST:

1 h later the market looks like in flag formation, the 21 ema is now about to cross the 200 ema, this is another signal to the side of my trade:

Market fails to trade lower at this point, the SL of -30 is hitted:

21 Ema Pullback

The pullback to the 21 ema is not a very strong signal as it can be the 55, 200 or a cross.
However the market is really quiet today so this can be a chance for traders to make some money.

i am getting in then:

After just a bit the market climbs, i am hanging to see if it haves more room:

As the market slows down and momentum decrease i get out of the trade with an earning of 21.7 pips.

this exit was just intuitive, it will be good if i can get this same exit results using short term moving averages.

Emas Cross trade

during a bottom reversal i have 2 points of entry that can be profitable using my EMAs.
at this point the reversal is totally confirmed, chances of success are high.

first is when the 21 EMA cross the 200 EMA, when that happens i have an entry:

the market reach a 30 pips TP limit:

a new entry is made when the 55 EMA is crossing the 200 EMA:

The trade gets into winner territory but it looks like loosing strenght to reach 30 pips so i am getting out, earning 15 pips for a total of 45 pips between the 2 trades.

Remember this pattern, i will call it EMAs cross and i will soon be studying its real possibilities using a robot.
