Triple EMA and RSI Trend Entries with Dynamic Risk Controls
Summary
This trend-following approach combines the relative order of three exponential moving averages with RSI zones to filter long and short entries. It describes two entry patterns: a move back across a shorter EMA and a direct break through a longer EMA. A much longer EMA acts as a directional filter. The strategy also offers configurable stop methods, profit targets based on fixed percentages or risk-to-reward, trailing stops, breakeven moves, and optional pyramid additions.
The document reports substantial performance figures for win rate, annualized returns, drawdown, Sharpe ratio, and pyramiding, but gives no market, test period, sample size, costs, or methodology to assess those claims. Its stated cautions include poor fit for sideways markets, possible losses in changing conditions, and greater exposure from adding to positions. The suggested settings and results should therefore be treated as unverified claims rather than evidence of expected future performance. Risk sizing and validation across markets and regimes remain necessary.
Key ideas
- EMA alignment and RSI zones filter entries in the direction of a broader trend.
- Entry signals include a shorter EMA recovery or a break through a longer EMA.
- A long-period EMA is used to block trades against the larger directional bias.
- Stops, profit targets, trailing exits, breakeven moves, and pyramiding are configurable.
- Reported performance claims lack enough backtest methodology to evaluate their reliability.
