Review of the 'Moving Average' cBot (Trial Version) 🤖

After an extensive development journey, we have crafted a cBot that transcends simple automation. This trial version allows you to test the power and flexibility of a meticulously customized systematic trading tool.

A 3-Tier Entry Logic: Approach, Touch, and Break 🎯

The bot's core is based on a sophisticated 3-tier system that analyzes the interaction between the price and the moving average:

1. Approach: Reacts when the price enters a "hot zone" around the moving average.
2. Touch: Captures potential bounces when the price "tests" the moving average without breaking it.
3. Break: Executes the classic trend-following signal when the price closes decisively across the MA.

The true genius lies in its flexibility: for each of these 6 scenarios, you can assign a different action: Long, Short, or None.

Risk Management: The True Highlight 🛡️ ★★★★★

This trial version includes the complete risk management suite, allowing you to fully test:

• Asymmetrical Stop Loss and Take Profit: For different risk/reward profiles between long and short trades.
• Automatic Break Even: To eliminate risk on a profitable trade.
• Trailing Stop with a Trigger: To maximize gains during a trend.

Key Evolutions & Next Steps 🚀

This version includes the powerful ADX Filter to measure trend strength and avoid sideways markets. The next logical step for the full version will be the implementation of a Time Filter to restrict operations to specific market sessions.

Trial Version & Full License 🛒

This is a fully functional trial version, designed to demonstrate all the bot's capabilities in a safe environment. It has two simple limitations:

1. It works only on Demo accounts.
2. It expires 15 days after the first use.

The full, unlimited version, usable on Live accounts and including future updates, is available for a one-time price of €49.

Final Verdict 🏆

The Moving Average Bot is a true platform for systematic trading. This trial version is the perfect opportunity to discover the infinite possibilities it can unlock for a discerning trader.
