Market Slayer Strategy

This strategy uses a weighted moving average crossover with a higher timeframe SSL trend confirmation. A long position is opened when the short WMA crosses above the long WMA while the trend is bullish; a short position is opened on the opposite conditions. Optional absolute take profit and stop loss can be enabled.

Details

  • Entry Criteria:
    • Long: short WMA crosses above long WMA and the higher timeframe SSL is bullish.
    • Short: short WMA crosses below long WMA and the higher timeframe SSL is bearish.
  • Long/Short: Both sides.
  • Exit Criteria:
    • Trend filter turns opposite.
    • Optional stop loss or take profit when enabled.
  • Stops: Optional.
  • Default Values:
    • ShortLength = 10.
    • LongLength = 20.
    • ConfirmationTrendValue = 2.
    • CandleType = TimeSpan.FromMinutes(5).TimeFrame().
    • TrendCandleType = TimeSpan.FromMinutes(240).TimeFrame().
    • TakeProfitEnabled = false.
    • TakeProfitValue = 20.
    • StopLossEnabled = false.
    • StopLossValue = 50.
  • Filters:
    • Category: Trend following
    • Direction: Both
    • Indicators: WMA, SSL
    • Stops: Optional
    • Complexity: Basic
    • Timeframe: Intraday
