Overview

TradersPost Example MOMO Strategy calculates a fast EMA and a slow EMA on the chart timeframe while plotting multi-timeframe EMAs from a 30-minute timeframe. Trades are executed within a customizable date range when the fast EMA crosses the slow EMA. The strategy includes risk management settings that allow users to define stop loss and take profit targets as either percentages or pips, though these are disabled by default when set to zero.
