This strategy is a trend-following trading system based on dual EMA and ATR dynamic stop-loss. It uses 38-period and 62-period Exponential Moving Averages (EMA) to identify market trends, determines entry signals through price crossovers with the fast EMA, and incorporates ATR indicator for dynamic stop-loss management. The strategy offers both aggressive and conservative trading modes to accommodate traders with different risk preferences.
The core logic is based on the following key elements: 1. Trend Determination: Market trend is identified through the relative position of 38-period and 62-period EMAs. An uptrend is confirmed when the fast EMA is above the slow EMA, and vice versa. 2. Entry Signals: Long signals are generated when price breaks above the fast EMA during uptrends; short signals occur when price breaks below the fast EMA during downtrends. 3. Risk Management: Employs an ATR-based dynamic stop-loss system that adjusts the stop level as price moves favorably, protecting profits while avoiding premature exits. Fixed percentage stop-loss and profit targets are also implemented.
This strategy builds a complete trend-following trading system by combining classic dual EMA system with modern dynamic stop-loss techniques. Its strengths lie in comprehensive risk control and high adaptability, though traders still need to optimize parameters and manage risks according to specific market conditions. Through the suggested optimization directions, the strategy’s stability and profitability can be further enhanced.
