EMA-RSI Risk Pro

A robust trend-following cBot that combines EMA crossover entries with an RSI strength filter and risk-based position sizing. Includes trailing stop, breakeven, spread/time filters, and a hard cap on maximum lots to prevent oversizing. Works on liquid FX, indices, metals, and crypto.

Key Advantages

• Risk under control: Position size derives from Equity × risk% and SL (in pips). A Max Lots cap prevents oversized trades on unusual symbols.
• Clean entries: EMA crossover captures trend shifts; RSI removes weak setups.
• Active trade management: Trailing stop and breakeven run on ticks to protect gains.
• Quality filters: Max spread and trading hours avoid thin-liquidity periods.
• Execution discipline: One trade per bar eliminates repetitive entries on the same candle and keeps backtests clean.
• Straightforward setup: All parameters are transparent and well-documented.

How it works

1. On candle close, detect EMA bull/bear cross.
2. Validate with RSI (≥ Buy threshold for longs, ≤ Sell threshold for shorts).
3. Compute size from Risk % of Equity and SL (pips) → convert to units, clamp by Max Lots.
4. Place market order with SL/TP (pips).
5. On ticks, apply trailing stop and move SL to breakeven once profit threshold is reached.

Parameters

Strategy

• Fast EMA (default 12) – Faster trend component. Lower = more responsive, noisier.
• Slow EMA (default 26) – Slower trend component; must be > Fast EMA.
• RSI Period (default 14) – Standard balance of noise vs. lag.
• RSI Buy ≥ (default 55) – Minimum RSI for long after bull cross; raise (60–65) for stricter trends.
• RSI Sell ≤ (default 45) – Maximum RSI for short after bear cross; lower (35–40) for stricter shorts.

Risk

• Risk % of Equity (default 1.0%) – Fraction of equity risked per trade.
  Example: Equity 10,000; Risk 1%; SL 30 pips → risk ≈ 100 in account currency.
• SL (pips) (default 30) – Stop-loss distance used for sizing and order placement.
• TP (pips) (default 60) – Take-profit distance; set 0 to disable.
• Trailing (pips, 0=off) (default 20) – Trailing distance once in profit.
• Breakeven at Profit (pips, 0=off) (default 15) – Move SL to entry after this profit.
• Max Lots per Trade (default 0.50) – Hard ceiling on order size (safety net).
• Debug sizing (default true) – Prints sizing math (Equity, risk, pip value, lots, units) to the log.

Filters

• Max Spread (points) (default 30) – Blocks entries if spread exceeds this (points = (Ask–Bid)/TickSize).
• Trade Long / Trade Short (default true/true) – Enable/disable each direction.
• Start Hour / End Hour (server) (default 1–23) – Trading window; supports overnight ranges (e.g., 22→6).
• One Trade Per Bar (default true) – At most one entry per candle; signals evaluated on closed bars.

Misc

• Label (default EMA_RSI_Risk_cBot) – Position label for easy filtering/multi-run.

Quick presets

FX majors (H1/H4):
EMA 12/26 • RSI 14 • Buy/Sell 55/45 • SL 30–40 pips • TP 60–80 • Trail 20–30 • BE 15–20 •
Risk 0.5–1.0% • MaxLots 0.10–0.50 • MaxSpread 25–35 points • Hours 01–23.

Metals (XAUUSD, M30/H1):
Increase SL/TP ~1.5–2×; relax MaxSpread by 20–30%.

Crypto (BTC/ETH, M15/H1):
Shift RSI to 60/40; use wider SL/TP; Risk ≤ 0.5%; keep One trade per bar = true.

Notes

• Backtest across multiple timeframes and instruments; tune SL/TP to volatility.
• Start with conservative Risk % (0.25–0.5%) and Max Lots (0.10–0.25); enable Debug sizing to verify volumes.
• Algorithmic trading involves risk; demo/backtest thoroughly before live deployment.
