Color Zerolag Momentum X2 Strategy

Dual timeframe momentum strategy using a zero lag moving average cross. The higher timeframe defines trend direction, while the lower timeframe triggers entries when momentum crosses its zero lag average in the direction of the trend.

Details

  • Entry Criteria: momentum crosses its zero lag average in trend direction
  • Long/Short: Both
  • Exit Criteria: opposite cross or trend reversal
  • Stops: No
  • Default Values:
    • TrendCandleType = 6h
    • TrendMomentumPeriod = 34
    • TrendMaLength = 15
    • SignalCandleType = 30m
    • SignalMomentumPeriod = 34
    • SignalMaLength = 15
    • BuyPosOpen = true
    • SellPosOpen = true
    • BuyPosClose = true
    • SellPosClose = true
  • Filters:
    • Category: Trend following
    • Direction: Both
    • Indicators: Momentum, ZeroLagEMA
    • Stops: No
    • Complexity: Intermediate
    • Timeframe: Multi-timeframe
    • Seasonality: No
    • Neural networks: No
    • Divergence: No
    • Risk level: Medium
