MA Cross Strategy with confirmation by distance b/w lines

The strategy checks for the cross between two moving average lines and trade long or short (see below) if the distance between lines become bigger that the specified during the next N bars. If lines do not diverge, the strategy will not trade. If you specify 0 as the distance and 0 as a number of bars, the strategy will work exactly as the standard MA cross signal.

BUY:
Fast MA crosses over the slow MA, and the distance between lines become bigger that the specified during the next N bars.

SELL:
Fast MA crosses under the slow MA, and the distance between lines become bigger that the specified during the next N bars.

The strategy can also trade on the Tick time frame.

Parameter Price to Start Trading at, would also be interesting, i.e. once price is above or below a Price Value it trades as per settings...

Parameter, Price Value to Start Trading: "Above:, "x.xxxx" or "Below", "x.xxxx" ...

Great strategy!

Is there any way to add a stop order on a third moving average? It tends to give up a lot of profit if it waits for the next signal to open before closing the last positions.

I would like to encourage users to post their settings. This is a really good strategy, if set up correctly.

I use the following for a five minute chart on the AUDUSD:

3 min fast MA
50 min slow MA
10 distance
5 number of bars
50 pip fixed stop
