Triple-EMA scalp on the 5-minute chart: with the 25/50/100 EMAs stacked and all heading the same way and candles fully outside the 25 EMA, wait for a pullback that closes beyond the 25 or 50 EMA without breaking the 100 EMA, then enter when price goes back through the 25 EMA. Stop at the 50 EMA, target 1.5x the stop; a bonus 1-minute 200 EMA + RSI 50 + engulfing system is tested as a second system.

(close crosses below ema25) AND (low > ema100) (within 24 bars) THEN 3. (close crosses above ema25) AND (NOT ([low < ema100] on any of the last 12 bars)) (within 12 bars)

(close crosses above ema25) AND (high < ema100) (within 24 bars) THEN 3. (close crosses below ema25) AND (NOT ([high > ema100] on any of the last 12 bars)) (within 12 bars)
