EMA 2-35 Crossover Strategy

This strategy follows a simple crossover between two Exponential Moving Averages. The fast EMA with length 2 reacts quickly to price changes, while the slow EMA with length 35 represents the longer-term trend. A position is opened when the fast EMA crosses the slow EMA; positions are reversed when the opposite crossover occurs.

Risk management is handled with fixed stop-loss and take-profit levels expressed in price steps. A trailing stop is also applied to lock in profits as the trade moves in a favorable direction.

Details

  • Entry Criteria:
    • Long: EMA(2) crosses above EMA(35).
    • Short: EMA(2) crosses below EMA(35).
  • Long/Short: Both sides.
  • Exit Criteria:
    • Opposite crossover.
    • Stop-loss or take-profit hit.
    • Trailing stop triggered.
  • Stops: Fixed stop-loss, take-profit, and trailing stop (all in price steps).
  • Default Values:
    • FastLength = 2
    • SlowLength = 35
    • StopLoss = 50
    • TakeProfit = 150
    • TrailingStop = 50
  • Filters:
    • Category: Trend following
    • Direction: Both
    • Indicators: Moving averages
    • Stops: Yes
    • Complexity: Simple
    • Timeframe: Short-term
