EMA Crossover Roll-Compounding Strategy with Take-Profit and Stop-Loss

Summary

This strategy uses fast and slow exponential moving average crossovers to open long or short futures positions. After a take-profit order closes a trade, it checks whether the EMA relationship still supports the same direction; if so, it re-enters using the strategy’s updated capital. A percentage stop loss is intended to close the position and end that run. Position size is based on strategy capital multiplied by leverage, so gains can compound while losses reduce the capital base.

The document also describes market and limit orders, order-status monitoring, repeated close attempts, and tables for account, position, and recent run statistics. It specifies a one-minute Binance futures backtest window and gives example capital, leverage, profit, and stop settings, but provides no reported performance results. The text warns that frequent crossovers in ranging markets can lead to repeated losses. Its claims about execution retries do not establish that orders will always fill, and the excerpted source is incomplete, so the full implementation and its behavior cannot be assessed here.

Key ideas

• EMA crossovers provide the initial long and short entry signals.
• After a take-profit exit, the strategy re-enters if the EMA relationship still supports the position direction.
• Position sizing uses strategy capital and leverage, creating compounding exposure.
• A percentage stop loss is intended to close positions and end a run.
• The document describes a one-minute futures backtest setup but supplies no performance results.
