Lab: Daily 50/200 EMA + ATR Stop (Long Only) by FlyingOceanTiger

WHAT IT IS
Simple long-only daily trend system that combines the classic 50/200 EMA trend filter with an ATR-based trailing stop. Built as a lab tool for studying daily swing trades on major crypto pairs.

CORE IDEA
* Only trade in a bullish regime (50 EMA above 200 EMA).
* Enter when price shows strength in that trend.
* Exit using a volatility stop (ATR) or when the trend breaks.
* Keep rules simple and transparent so it’s easy to study and tweak.

LOGIC (DEFAULT VERSION)
Trend filter:
* Long signals only when EMA 50 > EMA 200 (bull trend).
Entry conditions:
* Price confirms strength above the fast EMA in a bullish regime.
* Strategy opens a “Long Entry” on the bar that meets the conditions.
Exit conditions:
* Primary exit: price hits the ATR stop line that trails under price.
* Failsafe exit: trend filter breaks / close back under key levels.

Timeframe:
* Designed and tested on 1D candles (daily bars), especially on BTC, ETH, SOL, XRP, BNB.

INTENDED USE
* Research tool to see how a basic 50/200 + ATR framework behaves through full bull/bear cycles.
* Simple daily swing-trade engine for long-only crypto exposure.
* Clean baseline to compare against more complex systems and filters.

NOTES / DISCLAIMER
* Works on any symbol and timeframe, but all testing was on daily crypto pairs.
* Parameters are intentionally minimal so you can experiment with your own settings.
* For educational and testing purposes only. Not financial advice and no guarantee of future results.
