About the Tiger EA Expert Advisor

The Tiger EA Metatrader 4 Forex Robot is an algorithmic trader that determines buy and sell market signals using a set of Moving Averages.

It is worth noting that the Tiger EA also utilizes the RSI and ADX technical indicators to filter out market noise further.

The forex robot performs quite well, although it requires a large stop loss to achieve this.

Having said that, the Tiger EA works best on the EUR/USD currency pair, considering all the back testing carried out on the pair.

Testing on other symbols and time frames looks abysmal.

The optimization settings on the Tiger EA are not overly robust, but with some help, traders can edit some of its MQL4 code for a more personalized feel.
