Pair: GBPUSD
Time: H1

EMA: 7
EMA: 14

SELL:

7 moves below 14. No wait for at least 1 candlestick to be below the cross
where high low price is clear of the EMA's. Can't touch. Upon next retrace,

and price at least break any of the EMA with 1 pip. We enter short.

The filter here is the clear candlestick. Stop Loss is 100 pips and take
profit is 100 pips. BUT when 50 pips has been gained move stop loss to
break even (Entry price). Or activate trailing SL 25 pips.

When EMA whipsaw there is normally no clear candle. A filter
who with x pips between EMA lines would be good as well. But
is not required.

Is there any EA available like this or can anyone code it?

Thanks,

Hi Daniel:

Thank you for posting this entry method.

From brief backtesting I can't find much use for the 14ema at entry. Seems the candle always pulls away from the 7 with no need for the 14ema. However, the 14e may help with deciding to stay in the trade.

I know a professional who scalps similar to this entering when price breaks beyond the pulled away candle and stays in as long as next candles are pulled away from the ema.
