Overview

The visible logic looks for a stacked EMA order and a close that crosses back above the shortest average after dipping below it. Settings choose EMA lengths and sources, slope range and angle limit, percent or ATR exits, a fixed or trailing stop, order expiration, and percent-of-equity size. The excerpt ends before the short entry is shown, so those rules are not described here.
