Chaikin Momentum Scalper

This scalping strategy uses the Chaikin oscillator to capture momentum shifts. Long trades occur when the oscillator crosses above zero and price is above the 200-period SMA. Short trades occur on a cross below zero with price below the SMA. ATR multiples define stop-loss and take-profit levels.

Details

  • Entry Criteria: Chaikin oscillator crosses above/below zero with price above/below SMA.
  • Long/Short: Both.
  • Exit Criteria: ATR-based stop-loss and take-profit.
  • Stops: Yes.
  • Default Values:
    • FastLength = 3
    • SlowLength = 10
    • SmaLength = 200
    • AtrLength = 14
    • AtrMultiplierSL = 1.5m
    • AtrMultiplierTP = 2.0m
    • CandleType = TimeSpan.FromHours(1)
  • Filters:
    • Category: Momentum
    • Direction: Both
    • Indicators: Chaikin Oscillator, SMA, ATR
    • Stops: Yes
    • Complexity: Basic
    • Timeframe: Intraday
    • Seasonality: No
    • Neural Networks: No
    • Divergence: No
    • Risk Level: Medium
