EMA and WMA Entries with Staged Targets and a Break-Even Stop

Summary

This Bitcoin strategy enters long when a shorter EMA crosses above a WMA and short when it crosses below, provided there is no open position. It then uses two profit targets and two stop levels. At the first target, part of the position is intended to close and the stop on the remainder moves toward the entry price, allowing the trade to pursue a second target while protecting some gains. The document illustrates three possible outcomes: an initial loss, a partial gain followed by an exit near break-even on the remainder, or gains from both target levels.

The parameters include EMA and WMA periods and a pip distance; the published settings use BTC_USDT futures over one week. No measured backtest results are supplied. The text’s example percentages are not clearly reconciled with its point-based levels, and the source’s quantities and stop adjustments do not clearly establish the stated partial-close behavior. Execution assumptions, fees, slippage, and performance across market regimes are also absent, so the described payoff cases should not be read as demonstrated results.

Key ideas

• EMA and WMA crossovers provide the directional entry signals.
• The staged exit design takes partial profit at a first target and seeks a larger second target.
• After the first target, the remaining position’s stop is intended to move toward entry.
• The document gives illustrative payoff cases but no measured performance evidence.
• Point distances and example percentage outcomes are not clearly reconciled in the description.
