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 signal AND
- ADX(14) is above 20 — there's a real trend, not just chop.
Ausstiegsregeln
- Close on a cross back below the SMA.
- Trailing 5% stop catches deeper retracements before the SMA flips.
- MACD line crosses below signal.
- Hard 4% stop; 3% trailing stop locks in winners.
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.
Trades less frequently than vanilla MACD because the ADX gate sits open only in directional regimes. Equity curve is flatter through chop and adds when a sustained trend kicks in.
