Overview
This strategy is an adaptation of the EMA8 setup from famous Brazilian crypto YouTuber Augusto Backes. It aims to make high probability trades with good risk-reward ratio by utilizing the support of weekly EMA8 and entering at specific price patterns.
Strategy Logic
- It runs on daily timeframe and uses weekly EMA8 as support and trend filter
- Buy signal triggers when daily candle closes above weekly EMA8 with bullish price patterns like engulfing, hammer or closing price reversal
- Sell signal triggers when daily candle closes below weekly EMA8 with bearish patterns like engulfing, shooting star or high wave candle
- Entries and exits execute on candle close with no stops. 100% position sizing
The strategy efficiently utilizes EMA as support and reasonably controls trade frequency to capture reliable breakouts in major trends for a high risk-reward profile.
Advantage Analysis
- Increase reliability by using EMAs to gauge major trends and support
- Only trade around key levels to improve win rate and avoid unnecessary trades
- Precise trade location and clear signals mean excellent risk-reward ratio
- Suitable for swing traders. Low maintenance needed
Risk Analysis
- Full position sizing risks large losses in extreme moves
- Relatively few trades require strong psychology and sufficient capital
- Limited profit potential compared to trend following strategies
Improvements:
- Add position sizing module based on volatility or capital
- Implement stop loss to further limit loss in single trades
- Find better trade filters and exit conditions to increase win rate
Conclusion
In summary, this is a very practical swing trading strategy. It utilizes key technical indicators to identify reliable opportunities in major trends. The logic is simple and easy to implement for mid-to-long term traders. With proper position sizing and risk management, it can achieve fantastic returns over time.
