EMA 5 Alert Candle Short

The EMA 5 Alert Candle Short strategy waits for three candles that touch the 5-period EMA and then identifies a candle that stays above it. A short is opened when the next candle breaks the alert candle low, with the take-profit placed at a distance equal to the stop loss.

Details

  • Entry Criteria: after three EMA-touching candles, short on break of a non-touching candle low.
  • Long/Short: Short only.
  • Exit Criteria: stop loss at alert candle high, take-profit at equal distance.
  • Stops: Yes, based on alert candle range.
  • Default Values:
    • EmaPeriod = 5
    • RiskPerTrade = 2m
    • CandleType = TimeSpan.FromMinutes(5).TimeFrame()
  • Filters:
    • Category: Breakout
    • Direction: Short
    • Indicators: EMA
    • Stops: Yes
    • Complexity: Basic
    • Timeframe: Intraday (5m)
    • Seasonality: No
    • Neural Networks: No
    • Divergence: No
    • Risk Level: Medium
