Adéquation au marché
Strong directional trends
Filtered, selective
Règles d'entrée
- Enter long the bar after EMA(12) crosses above EMA(26).
- Cooldown of 2 bars after an exit prevents instant whipsaw re-entries.
- MACD line crosses above signal AND
- ADX(14) is above 20 — there's a real trend, not just chop.
Règles de sortie
- Close on the down-cross: EMA(12) back below EMA(26).
- Trailing stop of 4% locks in profits if the cross reverses without a clean down-cross.
- MACD line crosses below signal.
- Hard 4% stop; 3% trailing stop locks in winners.
Comportement attendu
Long flat periods broken by sharp upward jumps when a sustained trend lines up — and visible drawdowns during ranging markets when the cross fires both ways inside a few bars.
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.
