Eintrittsregeln
- Enter long when close crosses above the 20-bar SMA.
- 4-bar cooldown after exit reduces back-to-back whipsaws.
- MACD line crosses above its signal line AND
- Histogram is positive — momentum is widening, not contracting.
Ausstiegsregeln
- Close on a cross back below the SMA.
- Trailing 5% stop catches deeper retracements before the SMA flips.
- MACD line crosses back below the signal line.
- Hard 4% stop; 3% trailing stop on the runner.
Erwartetes Verhalten
Trendy growth in directional regimes punctuated by ugly chop when price oscillates around the SMA. Best paired with a higher-timeframe trend filter to skip the chop.
Slower than a pure EMA cross — fewer false starts, later entries. Equity curve shows fewer trades, smoother PnL, occasional missed early-trend acceleration.
