EMA Trend Pullbacks with Structure Breakout Confirmation
Summary
This strategy combines trend direction, pullbacks, structure breaks, candle direction, and RSI to generate long and short signals. It defines trend with price relative to a rising or falling 200-period EMA, then looks for a pullback to the 25- or 50-period EMA. Entry also requires a break of a recent five-bar high or low, a candle closing in the trade direction, and RSI above or below 50. Stops and profit targets are fixed distances from the entry price.
The published settings specify daily BTC/USDT futures data from late 2019 to late 2024, but provide no performance results. The document describes benefits and risks rather than reporting evidence that the rules are profitable. Fixed exits may not fit changing volatility, and the many filters can reduce trade frequency. The source implements the stated conditions but does not establish that the strategy works across other markets or timeframes.
Key ideas
- Trend is defined by price relative to the 200-period EMA and the EMA's slope.
- Entries require an EMA pullback, a five-bar structure break, directional candle close, and RSI confirmation.
- Long and short trades use fixed entry-relative stop-loss and take-profit levels.
- The published daily BTC/USDT futures settings include no performance metrics.
