TrailGuard — Intraday EMA Cross + Smart Trailing & EOD Flat
What it does
Goes Long on EMA bullish cross, Short on bearish cross (closed bars).
Trailing engine increases target and moves SL stepwise after price passes a start threshold (choose % or points).
Intraday profile: trading window + EOD close (no overnight).
No external indicators (EMAs computed internally) → fast, robust backtests.
Why it works
Simple, data-driven edge (EMA 20/50±) on M5–M15 produces frequent, clean signals.
Stepwise trailing locks profits during micro-swings.
EOD flat reduces swap/gap risk and costs.
Risk Management & Trade Protection
Position size as % of equity (auto min/max/step compliant).
Spread filter and slippage control.
Daily DD stop (flatten after X% drop from the day’s equity).
Max loss streak – pause until the next day.
Once-per-bar (bar-close logic) for clean execution.
Built-in Filters
Trading window (supports overnight windows).
Weekend filter (optional).
Close outside window (optional) + EOD close.
