I don't have that. Btw you don't need EA for that unless you have trouble checking the charts once a week for 5 mins.  sweat.gif
Backtesting is  testing the system using previous data step by step.
You can make a program that does the trading for you 24 hours without supervision. It buy and sells on your behalf. That's auto-trading.

Thanks for clarifying.

Btw, based on your previous graph, that's from MT4, right? For the lines, can Marketiva do that too?

Marketiva can do that too ... if you find a platform that can't plot moving average, throw it away  laugh.gif .

Oh, that's average? What's EMA then? unsure.gif

Moving average got many types. You need to use EMA.
There are WMA, SMA, etc etc ....  use EMA.
Exponential moving avg.

What do you mean by full-time ? Those who trade for a living or those who are  spending hours in front of the pc everyday ?

I'm at learning stage still.

I'm wondering, which timeline of graph do you use for refference during trades? And it is so hard to get a time when blue meets red =\ Different timeline different lines too unsure.gif

Mind to elaborate more on it? notworthy.gif


Added on March 26, 2007, 6:37 pmHmm.. I see that MACD uses 12 and 26 EMA.. I'm using the one luqmanz posted few pages back that uses 3 and 7 though.. Any difference?
