Efficient Work Strategy

This strategy uses moving averages on short, medium, and long horizons. A long position is opened when the fast average is above both longer averages, and a short position is opened when it is below them.

Details

  • Entry Criteria:
    • Long: fast MA > medium MA and fast MA > high MA.
    • Short: fast MA < medium MA and fast MA < high MA.
  • Long/Short: Both.
  • Exit Criteria:
    • Opposite signal triggers a reversal.
  • Stops: None.
  • Default Values:
    • MA Period = 20
    • Medium TF Multiplier = 5
    • High TF Multiplier = 10
  • Filters:
    • Category: Trend following
    • Direction: Both
    • Indicators: Multiple
    • Stops: No
    • Complexity: Basic
    • Timeframe: Medium-term
    • Seasonality: No
    • Neural networks: No
    • Divergence: No
    • Risk level: Medium
