Charles EMA RSI Strategy

This strategy emulates the Charles expert advisor by combining exponential moving averages (EMA) with an RSI filter and a trailing stop. It trades both directions and dynamically protects positions.

The system monitors a fast and a slow EMA on the selected timeframe. When the fast EMA crosses above the slow EMA and RSI exceeds 55, the strategy enters a long position. Conversely, when the fast EMA crosses below the slow EMA and RSI drops below 45, it enters a short position. After entry, a trailing stop follows price to lock in profits while a fixed take profit and stop loss are managed through built-in position protection.

Details

  • Entry Criteria:
    • Long: Fast EMA crosses above Slow EMA and RSI > 55.
    • Short: Fast EMA crosses below Slow EMA and RSI < 45.
  • Long/Short: Both.
  • Exit Criteria:
    • Trailing stop.
    • Stop-loss or take-profit.
  • Stops: Uses built-in protection with trailing.
  • Default Values:
    • FastPeriod = 18
    • SlowPeriod = 60
    • RsiPeriod = 14
    • TakeProfit = 0.02
    • StopLoss = 0.008
    • TrailStart = 0.006
    • TrailOffset = 0.003
  • Filters:
    • Category: Trend following
    • Direction: Both
    • Indicators: Multiple
    • Stops: Yes
    • Complexity: Intermediate
    • Timeframe: 1 hour by default
    • Seasonality: No
    • Neural networks: No
    • Divergence: No
    • Risk level: Medium
