Daily Trend Breakouts Confirmed by ATR, Volume, and Candle Direction

Article Strategy library · Author: HPotter

Summary

This long-only strategy combines daily trend, breakout, candle, and volume conditions. It requires the 50-day EMA to exceed the 100-day EMA, the close to rise above the 10-day EMA plus one ATR, a bullish daily candle, and volume above its 12-day EMA. On entry, the described stop is the 10-day EMA minus one ATR and the target is the 10-day EMA plus three ATR. Position size is calculated so the planned risk is 2% of account equity.

The document provides DOGE/USDT futures backtest settings for roughly one year, but gives no performance results. It notes that multiple lagging conditions may delay entries and produce few signals; fixed parameters may not transfer across markets, and a fixed ATR target can exit strong trends early. The source also restricts entries to a daily chart and checks stop and target against bar highs and lows. The strategy has no short-side logic, and the stated risk limit depends on the stop being filled as intended.
