INTRODUCTION

• Robust, fast, trading system
  
• Multiple time frame (MTF) aspects built in everywhere into the strategy
  
• Combines swing, scalp, greedy, volatile trading mechanisms
  
• Works on intraday day time frames as well as Daily and Weekly
  
• Trade sizing, targets, and stops are shown as new trades form and existing trades develop
  
• Alerts warn the trader on all aspects of the trade evolution
  
• Alerts are ready to be used for complete lifecycle automated trading
  

EMA TRADING

• Combining EMAs on a higher time frame than the chart time frame is key
  
• Trade conditions are met on a lower time frame that agree with the EMA ribbon direction
  

WHY DOES IT WORK?

• With the right EMA settings, it is "hard" to generate trades.
  
• The trade direction can easily shift
  
• Successful trade entry triggers require a strong trend
  
• While the EMA trend is positive, longs are taken on pullbacks, opposite for shorts
  
• A basic learning algorithm is used to create a stop behind the trades
  
• Learns over time the best stop offset from the price based on volatility
  

SWINGS AND SCALPS

• Swings and scalps are treated differently.
  
• Swings are the very first trade taken upon a directional shift. This is similar to the DIVINE series trading strategies
  
• Swings are held until stopped out, Scalps always have a target based on the current volatility of the ticker and multiplier
  
• Both swings and scalps start out in the "building" or "forming" phase.
  
• A building phase is triggered when all criteria are met to form a long or short
  
• Both trade types are executed as a market long or short when the ATR execution sensitivity reverses
  
• The current ATR direction can be seen by the colored bars.

• Scalp trade is filled the numbered scalp icon shows as a (N)

٢٥ أبريل ٢٠٢٢

ملاحظات الأخبار

• Added momentum cloud. This is another visual aid to help the end user gauge the strength of buying or selling.
  
• Updated initial stop criteria using momentum cloud as another guide.
  
• Updated total number of displayed trend MAs to 2 instead of 3.
  

Momentum cloud in picture below as the shaded region below price (bullish) and above price (bearish). The thickness of the cloud can change depending on the strength of the momentum and conviction. The cloud itself can be used as support and resistance. Striking the bottom of the cloud when in a bullish scenario generally flips the cloud to bearish (it moves above the price). Striking the top of the cloud when in a bearish scenario generally flips the cloud to bullish (it moves below the price).

The momentum cloud has been tested for multiple months and works well as another visualization guide. It can be styled in the STYLE tab in the indicator settings.

٢٦ أبريل ٢٠٢٢

• Updated momentum cloud function to use a random gaussian distribution search function based on recent volatility. This is better suited than a simple random walk.
