This strategy trades breakouts during the pre-market hour, using moving average and momentum indicators to determine short-term trends to trade at peak volatility. It is a typical short scalping strategy.
Strategy Logic:
Define pre-market range as within 1 hour of open.
Use 50-period EMA to gauge fair price range.
SMI crossover at lows signals long entry.
Closing below EMA is stop loss signal.
Take fixed profit target for short-term scalping.
Advantages:
Breaking short-term EMA shows intraday trend.
SMI confirms bottom reversals.
Limited backtest parameters make live trading simple.
Risks:
Breakouts prone to pre-market traps, beware reversals.
Single daily session Unable to defend against gaps.
Tight stops inclined to premature exit if calibrated poorly.
In summary, this is a typical pre-market short scalping strategy using EMA/SMI to ride high volatility breakouts. But the risk of pre-market traps is high, requiring small position sizing and disciplined stop loss.
