VWAP EMA RSI Trend Following Strategy
This strategy combines VWAP, EMA and RSI for trend bias and follows trends using a trailing stop approach. It aims to ride trends with adaptive exits.

Calculate VWAP as fair value benchmark.
-
Compute 15-period EMA as intermediate-term trend indicator.
-
Use RSI to identify overbought levels, RSI above threshold signals bullishness.
-
Enter long when close exceeds VWAP and EMA, and RSI overbought.
-
Set trailing stop loss line certain percentage below entry point.
-
Take fixed profit at set point level to lock in gains.
Advantages:
-
VWAP, EMA and RSI improve entry accuracy from multiple aspects.
-
Trailing stop moves dynamically to protect profits.
-
Fixed profit-taking provides certainty in exiting.
Risks:
-
RSI and EMA prone to false signals during ranges.
-
Stop loss calibration requires prudence, too wide or too narrow problematic.
