Multi-Timeframe EMA Reclaim Entries with ADX and ATR Risk Controls

Summary

This strategy seeks entries in the direction of a stacked EMA trend after price pulls back to a selected EMA, reclaims it, and optionally retests it. It supplements the lower-timeframe signal with daily and hourly EMA alignment, an ADX threshold for trend strength, and an ATR-based volatility floor. The described defaults include a strict 5/10/20/50 EMA order and a three-stage pullback, reclaim, and retest sequence.

Risk controls use ATR-based stops and targets, with optional break-even moves and trailing stops after the trade reaches a specified profit threshold. The document describes presets for forex, gold, crypto, and indices, and reports backtest claims such as lower drawdown with higher-timeframe filtering and higher average profit with retest confirmation. It provides no underlying performance tables, test methodology, or independent validation, so those claims are difficult to assess. The strategy may generate consecutive losses in sideways markets and false entries near trend reversals; its results will depend on market, timeframe, execution costs, and parameter choices.

Key ideas

• Entries follow a stacked EMA direction after price pulls back to and reclaims a selected average.
• Daily and hourly EMA alignment can filter lower-timeframe trades when higher-timeframe trends are unclear.
• ADX and ATR filters screen for directional strength and sufficient volatility.
• Retest confirmation may reduce signal frequency while aiming to improve entry quality.
• ATR-based stops, targets, break-even moves, and trailing stops define trade risk and exits.
• The document's performance claims lack supporting test details and should be treated cautiously.
