Simple EMA cross Strategy

I implemented this strategy on RUNEUSDT SPOT, and I must say that if the backtest is accurate, it performs quite well.

The logic is very simple: when the moving average ratio of the 12 EMA and 21 EMA on a 15-minute period is 1.003 (which filters out entries where the market is sideways, though it would be useful to have an indicator showing the EMA’s slope to determine trend strength), it signals an entry. The exit signal occurs when the 12 EMA crosses below the 21 EMA, indicating a temporary end of the trend.

The EMAs are calculated this way to ensure an accurate backtest:

  • EMA 12 = 12x15 = 180 periods on a 1-minute timeframe
  • EMA 21 = 21x15 = 315 periods on a 1-minute timeframe

If you have any suggestions to improve this strategy, they are more than welcome.

Thanks for Share! Up to 44% win rate and a 1.5 profit factor looks good for me. :slight_smile:

I really like this strategy, did some longer backtests and found it was not quite so profitable in previous years but still gives a good return. Going to do more testing on different coins and see how it does.

Tried tweaking a few settings to reduce the number of failures but it never really improved it yet.

Hello,
New user here. I want to implement this strategy in Gainium.
But i don’t know how to set up the technical indicators.

I have seen the Moving averages and the Moving Averages Ratio indicators. But the settings in the image are not correct, i think…

Can somebody share this strategy with me or explain how to set the correct values for this stratehy. Thanks in advance.

Did you try the link in the first message of this chat?

You mean this: https://app.gainium.io/bot/backtests?a=1623&aid=share-backtest&backtestShare=d4dfc170-5fd2-4d02-b766-0cde5b6b459f

then i get the message: backtest not found

and i think it is only the result of the backtest and not the strategy itself

If the link would still work, you could create the strategy from its settings. Maybe the backtest is expired or was removed. I guess only @Cr1pt0s can tell us his exact settings now.

But he is also explaining in detail what he is doing. So maybe somebody knows how to configure this entry or maybe @Cr1pt0s is reading this.

We will see…

hello
I don’t know if this is what you are looking for, but I tried to reproduce what appears in your screenshot, here is a back test with your approximate strategy, they are not good results but I hope it serves as a guide for you.
