Multi-Timeframe Scalping with EMA Alignment and Stochastic RSI

Summary

This scalping strategy uses higher-timeframe trend filters to constrain entries on a lower timeframe. It compares the current price with exponential moving averages calculated on hourly, four-hour, and daily intervals; longs require price above all three averages, while shorts require price below them. The strategy uses the prior completed higher-timeframe EMA value. On the entry timeframe, it calculates Stochastic RSI and enters when its smoothed K line crosses above or below its D line, provided the trend filter agrees.

Positions are opened only when flat, with stop-loss and take-profit distances set as multiples of average true range. The page describes the idea as crypto futures scalping and gives configurable indicator and risk settings, but the supplied article text cuts off mid-sentence and contains no backtest results or evidence of profitability. The code alone does not establish expected performance; execution costs, timeframe choice, and signal behavior across market conditions are not evaluated in the excerpt.

Key ideas

• Higher-timeframe EMA readings across hourly, four-hour, and daily intervals filter lower-timeframe trades.
• The strategy enters when Stochastic RSI K crosses D in the direction of the higher-timeframe filter.
• ATR multiples set stop-loss and take-profit distances for each position.
• New entries are restricted to times when the strategy is flat.
• The excerpt includes no backtest results or assessment of costs and performance across conditions.
