What this script says

EMA Cross is a strategy that trades EURUSD on 15-minute bars.

You can change 2 inputs: fast (default 20) and slow (default 50).

When the EMA of the close over fast bars crosses above the EMA of the close over slow bars, it buys at market, risking 1% of the balance, with a stop 25 pips from the entry and with a target 2R from the entry.

When the EMA of the close over fast bars crosses below the EMA of the close over slow bars, it closes all trades.
