Topic: Simple Ema strategy that I cant figure out how to set it up

Hi,
how to setup the next strategy?

Go long:
Ema, 2, high, changes direction upward
Ema, 2, low, falls

Go short:
Ema, 2, high, rising
Ema, 2, low, changes direction downward.

It looks like I could use an Outside bar indicator but then I would need another logic to get a trade howevere, it is not th strategy I would like to see.

Many thanks!

Re: Simple Ema strategy that I cant figure out how to set it up

For some reason standard MA doesn't have direction change logic, therefore this calls for a custom indicator! I can't think of a better way at the moment.

Re: Simple Ema strategy that I cant figure out how to set it up

Logic
Opening (Entry Signal)

Open a new long position at the beginning of the bar when:

logical group [A] is satisfied: 
Long or Short filter permits long opening; and 
Moving Averages Crossover* (High, Exponential, Exponential, 2, 2, 0, 1); Fast MA crosses Slow MA upward; and 
Moving Average* (Exponential, Low, 2, 0) falls. 
or logical group [b] is satisfied: 
Long or Short filter does not permit long opening; and 
Moving Averages Crossover* (Low, Exponential, Exponential, 2, 2, 0, 1); Fast MA crosses Slow MA downward; and 
Moving Average* (Exponential, High, 2, 0) rises. 

Open a new short position at the beginning of the bar when:

logical group [A] is satisfied: 
Long or Short filter does not permit short opening; and 
Moving Averages Crossover* (High, Exponential, Exponential, 2, 2, 0, 1); Fast MA crosses Slow MA downward; and 
Moving Average* (Exponential, Low, 2, 0) rises. 
or logical group [b] is satisfied: 
Long or Short filter permits short opening; and 
Moving Averages Crossover* (Low, Exponential, Exponential, 2, 2, 0, 1); Fast MA crosses Slow MA upward; and 
Moving Average* (Exponential, High, 2, 0) falls.
