Specification
Below is a list of all of the requirements for my specific trading strategy. Things can always be explained in further detail, but I was doing my best to make all of the requirements as objective as possible for a programmers benefit. Some of the requirements are subject to change, and there may be a few I want to add to further optimize the bot. My goal is to replicate my trading style the best possible way in an automated system.
Entry Criteria:
check EMA SPACING (x) amount of pips - 1H TF
if spacing is sufficient, then look for a 50 ema CANDLE cross - risky trade here - 1H TF (candle close on other side of 50 EMA)
once 14 ema has crossed 50, begin aggressive trades (waiting for price to get within (x) amount of pips within 14 ema) - 1H TF
check wick lengths (correct side) of 1H candles - (x) amount of pips (down trend = top wicks, up trend = bottom wicks)
check EMA spacing (look for certain value) 15M TF
if spacing is sufficient, look for 50 EMA candle cross WITH 1H trend - 15M TF
Once 14 has crossed 50 WITH 1H trend, begin aggressive trades - 15M TF
Risk Management Criteria:
1H cross – set TP near 200 EMA, SL other side of 14/50 cross (if applicable)
OR (if not applicable) set TP @ 40-50 pips, SL other side of 14/50 cross
15M cross (with 1H direction) – set TP @ 10-20 pips, SL other side of 14/50 cross
