EMA Crossover TSL EA V1.0 MT5: Free MT5 EMA & Trailing Stop Expert Advisor

EMA Crossover TSL EA V1.0 MT5 is a free, lightweight Expert Advisor that marries the classic exponential moving average crossover entry logic with an adaptive trailing stop loss—so you get both clear trend-based signals and dynamic risk management all in one package It runs seamlessly on MetaTrader 5, letting you trade any currency pair, commodity or index with customizable EMA periods, position sizing, and built-in multi-order handling. Backtests show consistent equity growth and capped drawdowns, while live runs confirm its reliability in both trending and range markets. Installation is a breeze—just drop the EA into your MT5 folder, apply it to any chart, tweak a few inputs, and you’re off. And since it’s backed by YoForex’s free-tool philosophy, you get ongoing updates, support, and peace of mind—all totally free.

Overview

The EMA Crossover TSL EA V1.0 MT5 by YoForex harnesses the power of two exponential moving averages—one fast, one slow—to pinpoint trend shifts with precision. When the shorter EMA crosses above the longer one, the EA triggers a buy; when it crosses below, a sell is executed. What sets this EA apart is its integrated trailing stop loss (TSL), which continually adjusts your stop level as price moves in your favor, locking in profits and reducing downside risk.

This EA is designed for traders who crave automation without compromising control: you decide your EMA lengths, risk percent, lot sizing, maximum open orders and start/stop times—and the EA does the heavy lifting 24/5. Because it’s coded in MQL5, it’s fully compatible with MetaTrader 5’s strategy tester, virtual hosting, and push-notification system, meaning you can backtest, optimize and run it on a VPS with zero hassle.

Backtest Results & Proof

In a six-month backtest on EURUSD H1 (January–June 2025), EMA Crossover TSL EA delivered a 24% net gain with a maximum drawdown of just 4.8%, illustrating its ability to ride trends while preserving capital. The equity curve remained smooth, thanks largely to the trailing stop logic that locked in incremental profits and avoided large swings during choppy periods.

A similar backtest on GBPUSD M15 showed 18% growth with a 5% drawdown, underscoring the EA’s versatility across both major pairs and varied timeframes. Live-market verification on a demo account over 30 trading days produced a 5.2% return with an average win rate of 62%, confirming that the strategy holds up under real spreads and slippage. Equity drawdowns never breached the 5% threshold once optimized settings were applied, giving you confidence that your risk controls function as advertised.
