MACD RSI EMA BB ATR Day Trading Strategy

Intraday strategy combining MACD signal cross, RSI bounds and EMA trend direction with a Bollinger Bands squeeze filter. Risk management uses ATR-based stop-loss, trailing stop and risk-reward take profit.

Details

  • Entry Criteria: MACD crossing signal in trend direction, RSI within thresholds and no BB squeeze.
  • Long/Short: Both directions.
  • Exit Criteria: Opposite stop or target.
  • Stops: ATR-based stop-loss, trailing stop and risk-reward take profit.
  • Default Values:
    • MacdFast = 12
    • MacdSlow = 26
    • MacdSignal = 9
    • RsiLength = 14
    • RsiOverbought = 70
    • RsiOversold = 30
    • EmaFast = 9
    • EmaSlow = 21
    • AtrLength = 14
    • AtrMultiplier = 2.0
    • TrailAtrMultiplier = 1.5
    • BbLength = 20
    • BbMultiplier = 2.0
    • RiskReward = 2.0
    • CandleType = TimeSpan.FromMinutes(5)
  • Filters:
    • Category: Trend Following
    • Direction: Both
    • Indicators: MACD, RSI, EMA, Bollinger Bands, ATR
    • Stops: Yes
    • Complexity: Intermediate
    • Timeframe: Intraday (5m)
    • Seasonality: No
    • Neural Networks: No
    • Divergence: No
    • Risk Level: Medium
