Pullback to the EMA50 in a trend

Classic / trend · Timeframe: H1 · Sessions: London and NY

Buy pullbacks to the average in an uptrend (and sell them in a downtrend).

How it works

In a trend (EMA50 > EMA200), pullbacks to the EMA50 are dynamic value zones. The entry comes when price touches the average and closes back in the direction of the trend, with the stop below recent lows.

Step-by-step rules

1. EMA50 > EMA200 (bullish) or the reverse.
2. Price touches the EMA50 and the candle closes in the direction of the trend.
3. Entry at the close; stop below the 3-candle low - 0.2 ATR.
4. 2R target.
