This strategy is mainly developed for scalping / intraday trading. It could potentially be used to identify entry/exit signals for short term options trading. It performs decently well on popular stocks when used on time frames between 5 min to 15 min using regular session bar data. It combines 3 popular indicators, EMA , MACD , and William %range, to generate both long and short signals.
EMA: Default is 200 EMA line.
MACD: Default is 12/26 lengths for fast/slow signal inputs.
William %R - Smoothed (Published): This is a custom indicator that generates two moving average lines from the original William %R line.
How it works: Entry conditions:
Exit conditions:
Note that parameters are NOT optimized for any particular stocks / instruments.
Enjoy~~!!
