RSI EMA VWMA Long-Only Trading Strategy
This script is a fully adjustable long-only trading strategy designed to help traders identify profitable entry and exit points based on the Relative Strength Index (RSI), Exponential Moving Average (EMA), and Volume Weighted Moving Average (VWMA). The strategy is straightforward, yet powerful, combining trend-following and momentum-based indicators for enhanced decision-making.
How It Works
Entry Criteria (Buy Signal):
A long trade is triggered when the RSI crosses above the lower threshold (e.g., 39) while the EMA is trading above the VWMA. This combination ensures that trades are initiated in favorable momentum and trend conditions.
Exit Criteria (Sell Signal):
Profit Target: The strategy automatically exits a trade once the price increases by the user-defined profit target percentage (e.g., 0.74%).
Stop Loss (Optional): To limit risk, the strategy includes an optional stop loss feature (e.g., 3%).
RSI Exit: Additionally, the trade is closed if the RSI crosses above the upper threshold (e.g., 78), indicating overbought conditions or reduced momentum.
