EMA 8 / EMA 14 crossover taken only with at least three confluences: the crossover, price at a strong support (buy) or resistance/trendline break (sell), and an engulfing candle. Stop beyond the support area or last swing high, target at the next key level; setup seen on 1h, entry refined on 15m.
The exact rules we tested
- 01Instrument: XAUUSD | Signal timeframe: 15m | Direction: both
- 02LONG when: (close > open) AND (c1 < o1) AND (close >= o1) AND (open <= c1) AND ([ema8 crosses above ema14] on any of the last 3 bars) AND ([low within 15bp of sl1h] on any of the last 8 bars) AND (close > sl1h)
- 03SHORT when: (close < open) AND (c1 > o1) AND (close <= o1) AND (open >= c1) AND ([ema8 crosses below ema14] on any of the last 3 bars) AND ([high within 15bp of sh1h] on any of the last 8 bars) AND (close < sh1h)
- 04Higher-timeframe inputs (closed-bar values only, no repaint): sl1h on 1h, sh1h on 1h
- 05Entry: market at next bar open
- 06Stop: at the sl1h (longs) / sh1h (shorts) level
