Trading Engine

EMA Cross Strategy

The trading engine is based on a multi-layer EMA trend continuation strategy designed for strong short-term momentum markets.

The bot continuously monitors all configured trading pairs and searches for high-probability long entry opportunities using EMA structure, breakout confirmation, and volume analysis.

The strategy combines:

  • •EMA20 for short-term trend direction
  • •EMA50 for mid-term trend confirmation
  • •EMA200 for higher timeframe trend filtering
  • •Breakout validation
  • •Volume spike detection
  • •Candle volatility filtering

The system operates on:

  • •1-minute candles for entry execution
  • •3-minute candles for higher timeframe trend filtering

Main strategy logic:

  1. 1.EMA200 on the 3-minute timeframe must not show a strong downward slope.
  2. 2.Price must bounce from EMA20 on the 1-minute timeframe.
  3. 3.EMA20 must remain above EMA50.
  4. 4.EMA50 must remain above EMA200.
  5. 5.EMA20 and EMA50 slopes must remain positive.
  6. 6.Breakout candle must close above recent highs.
  7. 7.Volume must exceed average market activity.
  8. 8.Candle size must remain within acceptable volatility limits.

This creates a filtered momentum-entry system focused on trend continuation rather than reversal trading.

Entry Confirmation Logic

A trade is executed only if all entry conditions pass simultaneously.

1. Higher Timeframe Trend Filter

The bot calculates the EMA200 slope on the 3-minute timeframe.

Condition:

  • •EMA200 slope must remain above the configured minimum value.
  • •Strong bearish market conditions block new entries.

Purpose:

  • •Prevent buying during higher timeframe downtrends.

2. EMA20 Bounce Detection

The system searches for a pullback into EMA20 followed by bullish continuation.

Requirements:

  • •Price touches EMA20 within recent candles.
  • •Current candle closes back above EMA20.
  • •Candle body must not remain fully below EMA20.

Purpose:

  • •Detect continuation pullbacks during active uptrends.

3. EMA Distance Validation

The bot validates trend strength using EMA spacing.

Conditions:

  • •EMA20 must remain sufficiently above EMA50.
  • •EMA50 must remain sufficiently above EMA200.

Purpose:

  • •Avoid weak or flat market structures.

4. Breakout Confirmation

The latest candle must break above recent local highs.

Condition:

  • •Current close exceeds highs from previous candles.

Purpose:

  • •Confirm bullish momentum continuation.

5. Volume Spike Detection

The strategy validates market participation using volume analysis.

Condition:

  • •Current volume must exceed rolling average volume multiplied by the configured coefficient.

Purpose:

  • •Filter low-liquidity or weak breakout scenarios.

6. Candle Volatility Filter

The bot rejects oversized candles.

Condition:

  • •Candle size percentage must remain below configured maximum.

Purpose:

  • •Prevent entries after overheated price spikes.

7. EMA Slope Confirmation

The bot verifies positive momentum using EMA20 and EMA50 slopes.

Conditions:

  • •EMA20 slope must remain positive.
  • •EMA50 slope must remain positive.

Purpose:

  • •Ensure short-term and mid-term momentum alignment.

Stop Loss Logic

Every position receives a fixed stop loss immediately after entry execution.

Stop loss calculation:

  • •Stop loss price is calculated as a percentage below entry price.
  • •Each trading pair has independent stop loss settings.

Purpose:

  • •Protect capital during failed breakouts or trend reversals.

The stop loss remains active until:

  • •Position closes by stop loss
  • •Position closes by take profit
  • •Position closes by trailing stop

Take Profit Logic

Each position receives a predefined take profit target immediately after execution.

Take profit calculation:

  • •Take profit price is calculated as a percentage above entry price.
  • •Each symbol has its own configured target.

Purpose:

  • •Lock profits automatically during strong continuation moves.

When price reaches the configured take profit level:

  • •The bot immediately executes a market sell order.

Trailing Stop Logic

The trading engine includes a dynamic trailing stop system designed to protect profits during strong market continuation.

Standard Trailing Stop

Trailing stop activates only after a minimum profit threshold is reached.

Activation logic:

  1. 1.Position reaches configured profit percentage.
  2. 2.Trailing stop becomes active.
  3. 3.Stop level follows price upward.
  4. 4.Stop never moves downward.

Purpose:

  • •Allow profitable trades to continue while protecting gains.

Tight Trailing Logic

The bot includes an aggressive protection mode during potential trend weakening.

Tight trailing activates when:

  • •Price closes below EMA20
  • •EMA50 gets touched
  • •Momentum weakens after holding the position

In this mode:

  • •Trailing distance becomes significantly tighter.
  • •Profits are protected more aggressively.

Purpose:

  • •Reduce profit giveback during trend exhaustion.

Risk Management Logic

The trading engine includes multiple layers of automated portfolio protection.

Position Sizing

Each position uses a configurable percentage of total capital.

Features:

  • •Dynamic quantity calculation
  • •Binance lot size adjustment
  • •Automatic exposure control

Purpose:

  • •Maintain consistent risk across all positions.

Portfolio Exposure Protection

The bot limits total active exposure across all open trades.

Condition:

  • •Total exposure cannot exceed configured portfolio limit.

Purpose:

  • •Prevent overleveraging the account.

Consecutive Loss Protection

The bot tracks losing streaks per trading pair.

Condition:

  • •Trading is disabled after exceeding maximum consecutive losses.

Purpose:

  • •Stop trading during unstable market conditions.
