EMA Trend Heikin Ashi Entry Strategy

Strategy using Bollinger Bands on Heikin Ashi candles with a higher timeframe EMA trend filter. Buys after consecutive bearish Heikin Ashi candles touching the lower band followed by a bullish candle above it when the higher timeframe fast EMA is above the slow EMA. Sells in reverse.

After entering, a first target equal to the risk is taken and the stop is trailed using the previous candle's extremes.
