Janus Trader 2026

The Carter MA Strategy is a discretionary trading system for MetaTrader 4 (MT4) based on a combination of multiple moving averages and Fractals to identify trend direction, pullbacks, and reversal points.

This strategy is designed for volatile currency pairs, allowing traders to trade both trend continuation and counter-trend corrections with clear visual rules.
The examples shown in the charts (M5, M15) demonstrate how price reacts repeatedly to dynamic support and resistance created by the moving averages.

The system works well for scalping, intraday trading, and short-term swing trades, depending on the selected timeframe.
