Bitcoin Trend Entries with Multi-Timeframe EMA Confirmation

Summary

This intraday Bitcoin strategy combines local EMA alignment with trend votes from higher timeframes. Bullish or bearish setups require the 20-, 50-, and 200-period EMAs to be ordered in the same direction on the chart and on at least three of four higher timeframes. It then accepts either a pullback condition or a strong candle break, with an ATR comparison used for volatility confirmation on pullback setups. A distance filter from the 20-period EMA is intended to avoid late entries.

Stops are placed beyond the signal bar’s low or high with a configurable percentage buffer, and targets use a configurable risk-reward multiple. The script allows only one open position and sizes orders as a percentage of equity. It labels setup types and plots the chart EMAs, but provides no backtest results or validation. The document also does not specify a required chart timeframe or establish how higher-timeframe values behave during unfinished bars, so implementation and testing choices may affect signals.

Key ideas

• Local EMA ordering and agreement across higher timeframes define the directional trend filter.
• Entries can arise from a pullback setup or a candle break beyond the prior bar.
• ATR expansion is checked for pullback signals, while an EMA distance rule screens late entries.
• Signal-bar stops include a configurable buffer, and targets are set using a risk-reward multiple.
• No performance evidence is supplied, and timeframe and higher-timeframe data handling may affect results.
