//  Description
//  =============================================================================
//  This strategy will go long if fast MA crosses over slow MA.
//  The strategy will exit from long position when the price increases by a fixed percentage.
//  If the trailing take profit is checked then the strategy instead of setting a limit order in a predefined price (based on the percentage)
//  it will follow the price with small steps (percentagewise)
//  If the price drops by this percentage then the exit order will be executed
//
//  The strategy has the following parameters:
//
//  Fast SMA Length - How many candles back to calculte the fast SMA.
//  Slow SMA Length - How many candles back to calculte the slow SMA.
//  Enable Trailing - Enable or disable the trailing.
//  Stop Loss % - The percentage of the price decrease to set the stop loss price target for long positions.

//    5. Money management plays a large role in the results of your trading. For 
//       example: lot size, account size, broker leverage, and broker margin call 
//       rules all have an effect on results. Also, your Take Profit and Stop Loss 
//       settings for individual pair trades and for overall account equity have a 
//       major impact on results. If you are new to trading and do not understand 
//       these items, then I recommend you seek education materials to further your
//       knowledge.
