Strategy idea: candle that does not touch the EMA, then breakout

Keywords & logic 2 views

This walkthrough builds a trend-reversal setup: a candle that stays clear of the EMA, followed by a breakout on the very next candle that triggers the entry.

Keywords used

  • Time and Position (candle position) to read the right candles.
  • Absolute: returns the positive value of its input. Here it checks that the gap between the EMA and the candle is at least 1 point, whichever side the candle is on.
  • Get Runtime: stores the high and low of the trigger candle so you can use them later as a stop-loss.

When you use Get Runtime, follow the recommended structure.
