Adjustable MA 3G Forex expert advisor is a highly customizable moving average EA that is based on the custom 3rd Generation Moving Average indicator and the classic cross-of-two-MAs strategy. You can adjust the MA periods, MA method, MA price type, minimum MA difference, stop-loss, take-profit, trailing stop, slippage and money management parameters. This expert advisor always opens position on cross and closes it on the next cross (if it wasn't closed earlier by SL or TP).

By default it uses fixed stop-loss at 100 pips and take-profit at 70 pips. The trailing stop is turned off by default.
How often does it trade?
On 5-minute EUR/USD chart (the back-test settings) this EA will trade once every two days on average.
Any settings other than default can be used?
There wasn't any thorough optimization process for this EA. There are plenty of possibilities to improve its performance by varying the input parameters and/or currency pair and timeframe combination.
This EA is ECN-compatible. You must set ECN_Mode input parameter to true in order to enable ECN-compatibility for this expert advisor. Otherwise, you will most likely be seeing OrderSend Error 130 messages when EA will be trying to open positions. This is because, if you are trading with an ECN broker (with market execution for orders), you cannot set SL/TP on position opening. You have to open a position first without SL/TP and only then modify it, adding stop-loss and/or take-profit level.
