🐢 Turtle Trend-Following Strategy (EMA + ADX)

Strategy Type: Trend Following / Swing Trading
Recommended Timeframes: 4H (4-Hour) or 1D (Daily)
Assets: Forex, Crypto, Commodities (Gold, Oil), Indices (S&P 500)

1. Indicators Setup

EMA 100: Color Green (Fast Moving Average)
EMA 350: Color Red (Slow Moving Average)
ADX (14): Threshold set to 20 (Trend Strength Filter)

2. LONG Entry Rules (Buy)

The Crossover: Wait for the Green EMA (100) to cross ABOVE the Red EMA (350).
The Filter: Check the dashboard or label. The ADX must be greater than 20.
Confirmation: Wait for the signal candle to CLOSE. Do not enter while the candle is still moving.
Action: Open a BUY position at the open of the next candle.

Stop Loss (SL): Set exactly at the LOW of the signal candle (the candle where the cross happened).
Take Profit (TP): Ride the trend. Close the position only when a Dead Cross (opposite signal) occurs.

3. SHORT Entry Rules (Sell)

The Crossover: Wait for the Green EMA (100) to cross BELOW the Red EMA (350).
The Filter: Check the dashboard or label. The ADX must be greater than 20.
Confirmation: Wait for the signal candle to CLOSE.
Action: Open a SELL position at the open of the next candle.

Stop Loss (SL): Set exactly at the HIGH of the signal candle.
Take Profit (TP): Ride the trend. Close the position only when a Golden Cross (opposite signal) occurs.

4. Important Tips for 4H/1D

Patience is Key: On the 1D timeframe, signals are rare but powerful. Do not force trades if the ADX is below 20 (grey background on the panel).
Position Sizing: Since the Stop Loss is based on the candle’s High/Low, the distance in pips/points can be large on the Daily chart. Adjust your lot size so that you never risk more than 1-2% of your account on a single trade.
Ignore the Noise: If the market is moving sideways and the EMAs are flat, the ADX filter will save you from losses. Trust the filter.
