EMA Crossover Cloud w/Range-Bound Filter
A focused 1-minute EMA crossover trading strategy designed to identify high-probability momentum trades while filtering out low-volatility consolidation periods that typically result in whipsaw losses. Features intelligent range-bound detection and progressive market attention alerts to help traders manage focus and avoid overtrading during unfavorable conditions.
Key Features:
EMA Crossover Signals: 10/20 EMA crossovers with volume surge confirmation (1.3x 20-bar average)
Range-Bound Filter: Automatically detects when price is consolidating in tight ranges (0.5% threshold) and blocks trading signals during these periods
Progressive Consolidation Stages: Visual alerts progress through Range Bound (red) → Coiling (yellow) → Loading (orange) → Trending (green) to indicate market compression and potential breakout timing
Market Attention Gauge: Helps manage focus between active trading and other activities with states: Active (watch close), Building (check frequently), Quiet (check occasionally), Dead (handle other business)
Smart RSI Exits: Cloud-based and RSI extreme level exits with conservative stop losses
Dual Mode Operation: Separate settings allow full backtesting performance while providing visual stay-out warnings for manual trading
How to Use:
Entry Signals: Trade aqua up-triangles (long) and orange down-triangles (short) when they appear with volume confirmation
Stay-Out Warnings: Ignore gray "RANGE" triangles - these indicate crossovers during range-bound periods that should be avoided
Monitor Top-Right Display:
Range: Current 60-bar dollar range
Attention: Market activity level for focus management
Status: Consolidation stage (trade green/yellow, avoid red, prepare for orange)
Position Sizing: Default 167 shares per signal, optimized for the crossover frequency
Alerts: Enable consolidation stage alerts and market attention alerts for automated notifications
Recommended Settings:
Timeframe: 1-minute charts
Symbol: Optimized for volatile stocks like TSLA
"Apply Filter to Backtest": Keep OFF for realistic backtesting, ON to see filtered results
Risk Management:
The strategy includes built-in overtrading protection by identifying and blocking trades during low-volatility periods. The progressive consolidation alerts help identify when markets are "loading" for significant moves, allowing traders to position appropriately for higher-probability setups.
