Overview

EMA Ribbon enters a long position when the moving averages form a bullish stack and a short position during a bearish stack, utilizing a transition tracker to suppress duplicate entries in the same direction. The three moving average lines are plotted directly on the price chart. The strategy does not include default stop loss or take profit rules.
