• The EA compares two moving averages (MA1 and MA2) on each specified currency pair.
• A buy signal occurs when MA1 crosses above MA2, while a sell signal occurs when MA1 crosses below MA2.
• Recovery strategies (Grid, Hedge, Martingale) are applied to manage losses or risk, as configured.
• Trades are monitored for cumulative profit or loss. If the stop-loss or take-profit for all trades is met, the EA closes all positions across all pairs.
