Improved EMA & CDC Trailing Stop Strategy

Combines EMA trend filter, MACD confirmation and an ATR-based CDC trailing stop.

Details

  • Entry Criteria:
    • Long: price > EMA60, EMA60 > EMA90, MACD line > signal line.
    • Short: price < EMA60, EMA60 < EMA90, MACD line < signal line.
  • Long/Short: Both sides.
  • Exit Criteria:
    • Trailing stop or ATR-based profit target.
  • Stops: Yes.
  • Default Values:
    • Ema60Period = 60
    • Ema90Period = 90
    • AtrPeriod = 24
    • Multiplier = 4
    • ProfitTargetMultiplier = 2
    • CandleType = TimeSpan.FromMinutes(1).TimeFrame()
  • Filters:
    • Category: Trend following
    • Direction: Both
    • Indicators: EMA, MACD, ATR
    • Stops: Yes
    • Complexity: Basic
    • Timeframe: Intraday
    • Seasonality: No
    • Neural networks: No
    • Divergence: No
    • Risk level: Medium
