Strategy trading EMA crossovers with optional stop loss and take profit. It buys when the fast EMA crosses above the slow EMA and sells when the fast EMA crosses below the slow EMA. Opposite signals or price targets close positions.
Details
Entry Criteria:
Long: fast EMA crosses above slow EMA
Short: fast EMA crosses below slow EMA
Long/Short: Both
Exit Criteria:
Opposite EMA crossover
Long: price reaches take profit or stop loss
Short: price reaches take profit or stop loss
Stops: Fixed price offsets
Default Values:
FastPeriod = 13
SlowPeriod = 50
StopLoss = 0.005m
TakeProfit = 0.005m
CandleType = TimeSpan.FromMinutes(5).TimeFrame()
