Description
EMA 50/100 Crossover cBot β at a glance
Main value
Automates a classic dual-EMA trend signal and handles entries, fixed SL/TP, and a tick-based trailing ladder so you donβt manage stops manually on winning trades.
Strategy focus
- Trend following on bar close: buy when the fast EMA crosses above the slow EMA; sell on the opposite cross.
- One direction at a time: an opposite signal closes all open positions and opens the new side.
- Default setup: EMA 50 / 100, market entry, then SL/TP set from entry in points (defaults: TP 20, SL 40).
Risk profile
- Fixed lot size β no %-of-equity or volatility sizing.
- Initial bracket is wider SL than TP (40 vs 20 points by default), so the first target is smaller than the initial stop unless the ladder moves things in your favor.
- Trend systems can whipsaw in ranges; each cross can flip and realize losses.
- Trailing helps protect and extend winners but does not cap daily loss or trade count.
Key advantage
The profit ladder on OnTick: as price moves in your favor, TP steps up in fixed increments and SL is pulled to sit below the new TP, with cooldowns and minimum stop distance β aimed at letting trends run while ratcheting protection, not only a static TP/SL.
Bottom line
A straightforward EMA crossover trend bot with automated reversal and built-in trailing management; best suited to trending markets, with risk mainly from fixed size, crossover churn, and the initial SL > TP distance.
