Introduction
If you’ve been trading the US30 (Dow Jones) manually on MT5, you know the grind: watching the price tick by tick, scrambling to enter at the right moment, managing stops… it’s exhausting. That’s where Cross Money EA V1.0MT5 comes in. Built specifically for US30 on the MetaTrader 5 platform, this free Expert Advisor automates your entries and exits across H1, M30, and H4 charts—with just a $200 minimum deposit requirement. No more staring at screens all day… let Cross Money EA handle the heavy lifting while you focus on strategy tweaks and risk management.

How It Works

Cross Money EA is designed around a cross-moving average and momentum filter strategy optimized for the US30 index.

  • It scans H1, M30, and H4 timeframes simultaneously for trend alignment.
  • When a faster MA crosses above or below a slower MA and the momentum oscillator confirms direction, the EA will open a trade.
  • Positions are managed with dynamic stop-loss and take-profit levels to target consistent gains while capping drawdown.
  • A built-in volatility filter avoids trading around major news events or thin sessions.

Performance & Backtest Results

In a 12-month backtest on US30 (MT5) with tick-by-tick data, Cross Money EA delivered:

  • Equity Curve: Smooth upward trend with limited drawdowns
  • Net Profit: +48% annual return
  • Max Drawdown: 4.8% (below the 5% cap)

Of course, past performance isn’t a guarantee—but these numbers give you confidence the strategy is robust across different market phases.
