📝 Strategy Description: Pullback Trading Strategy v2.0 by Mark804OverviewThis strategy is a refined, trend-following pullback system designed to identify high-probability entry points within an established trend. Based on **EMA stacking**, it captures short-term retracements (pullbacks) in the direction of the larger trend. It has been fully updated to **Pine Script v5** with dynamic inputs, clear visualization, backtesting functionality, and risk management via stop loss and take profit.---🔧 How It Works1. **Trend Detection**The strategy first identifies a trend using a combination of four EMAs:* **Fast EMA*** **Signal EMA*** **Medium EMA*** **Slow EMA** (optional filter)A valid trend is defined by **EMA stacking**:* **Uptrend**: Fast > Signal > Medium (> Slow, if enabled)* **Downtrend**: Fast < Signal < Medium (< Slow, if enabled)This ensures the strategy trades **only in the direction of the dominant trend**, avoiding countertrend setups.---2. **Pullback Entry Conditions**The strategy looks for pullbacks (retracements) within the confirmed trend:*Buy Setup (Long Pullback)**: * In an uptrend * Price **closes below** the Signal EMA on the previous bar * Then **closes back above** the Signal EMA on the current bar* **Sell Setup (Short Pullback)**: * In a downtrend * Price **closes above** the Signal EMA on the previous bar * Then **closes back below** the Signal EMA on the current barThese conditions aim to enter on price dips or rallies that offer better entries while staying aligned with trend momentum.---3. **Entry & Exit Logic**When a pullback signal is detected:* A **market order** is placed in the trend direction* A **take profit** and **stop loss** is applied immediately based on percentage inputsExample:* Take Profit: 2% above entry (for long)* Stop Loss: 1% below entry (for long)This creates a favorable **risk-to-reward ratio** and clear exit strategy.---4. **Customizable Inputs**All key parameters can be tuned via the script’s settings panel:* `maSrc`: Source for EMAs (default: `close`)* `fastLen`, `signalLen`, `mediumLen`, `slLen`: EMA lengths* `slEnabled`: Toggle to include the slow EMA as a trend filter* `takeProfitPct`, `stopLossPct`: % values for TP and SL* `showRibbon`: Toggle visibility of EMA lines (the "ribbon")This flexibility allows optimization for different timeframes, assets, or market conditions.---5. **Visuals & Alerts*** **EMA Ribbon**: Optionally plots all 4 EMAs in distinct colors* **Alerts**: Configurable alerts for both Buy and Sell pullback signals* **Strategy Tester**: Fully compatible with TradingView’s backtester to review performance---✅ Key Features* Pine Script **v5** compatible* Simple yet powerful **trend-pullback strategy*** Built-in **risk management** (TP/SL)* Highly **customizable** and easy to optimize* Works on **any timeframe or market** (stocks, crypto, forex, etc.)* Optional **EMA Ribbon** and slow filter for visual context---📊 Strategy Use Cases* Intraday trading* Swing trading* Trend continuation setups* Building automated systems in TradingView* Manual trade confirmation for other systems---⚙️ Example Settings| Parameter | Value || ----------------- | --------- || Fast EMA Length | 8 || Signal EMA Length | 13 || Medium EMA Length | 21 || Slow EMA Length | 55 || Take Profit (%) | 2.0 || Stop Loss (%) | 1.0 || Use Slow EMA | ✅ Enabled |---📌 Important Notes* This is a **trend-following strategy**. Best results occur in trending markets.* In sideways or choppy markets, false signals may occur. Consider using higher timeframes or combining with volume filters.* You can expand this strategy further by integrating: * Multi-timeframe trend confirmation * Additional filters (e.g. RSI, MACD) * Trailing stop loss for dynamic exits * Visual overlays (e.g. pivot points, fractals) for added context
