1. Opening a 4-hour chart for EURUSD, lots 0.1.
2. Drawing an MA with the period of 5.
Signal to buy: Indicator MA has formed a trough.
Signal to sell: Indicator MA has formed a peak.
The trades will be closed by StopLoss. For placing a StopLoss, we should find the MA inflection (trough or peak) and detect: for Buy, the minimum price value for 10 bars in history; for Sell, the maximum price value for 10 bars in history. Then place a StopLoss. We should perform checks at each formation of trough (for Buy) or peak (for Sell) and modify the StopLoss, if necessary.
