Description
🐉 DRACO TOMAS EMA Trend FollowerDescription:The DRACO TOMAS EMA Trend Follower is a simple yet powerful trend-following strategy designed to capture directional moves based on exponential moving average (EMA) crossovers. It automatically detects trend changes and manages positions dynamically.Core Logic:The strategy uses two EMAs — a Fast EMA (default 12) and a Slow EMA (default 21) — to identify the market trend.When the Fast EMA crosses above the Slow EMA, the strategy opens a long position, signaling bullish momentum.When the Fast EMA crosses below the Slow EMA, the strategy opens a short position, signaling bearish momentum.The color of the EMAs changes dynamically: green for uptrends, red for downtrends.Exit rules:Longs are closed when the EMAs turn red (trend reversal to bearish).Shorts are closed when the EMAs turn green (trend reversal to bullish).Position Sizing:The system uses 10% of equity per trade by default, allowing flexible risk management and compounding.Purpose:Designed for traders who want a clean and efficient EMA crossover system to follow trends automatically on any timeframe or asset.Best Used For:Swing trading and trend confirmationIdentifying major directional shiftsTesting EMA-based momentum systems
