MNQ StochRSI Strategy with EMA Triggers and Session Risk Controls

Summary

This partially reproduced Pine strategy is designed for two-hour MNQ trading and combines StochRSI thresholds with an EMA touch condition. It arms a short setup when StochRSI reaches a high trigger, then waits for price to touch the 20-period EMA and for StochRSI to fall to an entry threshold. The visible excerpt also defines mirrored long-side thresholds, trailing stops, and a hard dollar stop based on contract point value. Position sizing, initial capital, and commission assumptions are specified in the script.

The strategy avoids initiating trades during a daily session gap and closes open positions shortly before the session ends, saving direction to reopen at the evening session start. The excerpt ends at the short-entry condition, so it does not show the full long logic, order handling, exits, or complete strategy behavior. Although the title calls the setup optimized, the supplied material includes no performance report, test period, or evidence supporting that characterization. Thresholds, stop distances, trading costs, and the session rules would all need evaluation before drawing conclusions about its results.

Key ideas

• The visible short setup arms at a high StochRSI reading, waits for an EMA touch, then requires a lower entry threshold.
• The script specifies separate long and short thresholds, trailing stops, and a dollar-based stop.
• It closes positions before the session break and can reopen them at the evening session start.
• The excerpt is incomplete and does not show full entry, exit, or long-side implementation.
• No backtest results are provided to substantiate the optimization claim.
