UP3x1 Premium Strategy

The UP3x1 Premium Strategy is a C# port of the MetaTrader expert advisor up3x1_premium_v2M. It blends fast/slow EMA crossovers with wide-range candle filters and a daily context filter to capture momentum breakouts while keeping risk managed through fixed targets and trailing stops.

How It Works

  1. Trend Detection

    • Calculates two EMAs on the working timeframe (default 12 and 26 periods).
    • Tracks the previous two EMA values to identify bullish or bearish crossovers similar to the MQL logic.
    • Maintains a daily EMA to understand the broader bias.
  2. Entry Logic

    • Long setups trigger when any of the following occurs:
      • The fast EMA crosses above the slow EMA and the previous two candle opens show upward progress.
      • The prior candle forms a bullish wide-range bar whose body exceeds the configured body threshold.
      • At midnight, if the previous daily candle closed notably lower than it opened (capitulation), a bounce signal is allowed.
      • Price trades above the current daily EMA, favouring the long side.
    • Short setups trigger when the mirror conditions hold (bearish EMA cross, wide bearish bar, or midnight reversal in the opposite direction).
    • When both long and short triggers fire simultaneously, the strategy follows the prevailing EMA relationship to break the tie.
  3. Exit Management

    • An open position is closed when:
      • The EMAs converge within ±0.1%, signalling a loss of directional conviction.
      • Price touches the take-profit or stop-loss offsets defined in absolute price units.
      • The trailing stop (if enabled) is pulled behind price and subsequently hit.
  4. Position Handling

    • Trades are opened only when the strategy is flat, matching the original EA behaviour.
    • Volume is controlled via the OrderVolume parameter and applied to every market order.

Parameters

Parameter Description
OrderVolume Order size in lots/contracts for every trade.
FastEmaLength / SlowEmaLength Periods for the fast and slow EMAs on the working timeframe.
DailyEmaLength Period for the EMA computed on the daily candles.
TakeProfit Absolute profit target in price units (set to zero to disable).
StopLoss Absolute stop distance in price units (set to zero to disable).
TrailingStop Trailing distance that follows price once the move exceeds the threshold.
RangeThreshold Minimum total range the previous candle must exceed to qualify as a wide bar.
BodyThreshold Minimum candle body size that defines bullish/bearish thrust bars.
DailyReversalThreshold Size of the previous daily reversal required during the midnight filter.
CandleType Working timeframe for the main EMA and price logic.
DailyCandleType Higher timeframe used for the daily EMA context.

Usage Notes

  • Defaults mimic the numeric constants found in the original EA (converted from point values to decimal price offsets).
  • Adjust the price-based thresholds (TakeProfit, StopLoss, TrailingStop, range/body thresholds) to match the tick size of the traded instrument.
  • The daily EMA filter replaces the unconditional long bias present in the MQL script, keeping trades aligned with the prevailing higher timeframe trend.
  • Always backtest on historical data and forward test in a demo environment before enabling live trading.
