Short Entry
- →Entry Type 1 (EMA Cross): Fast EMA crosses below slow EMA + Negative accelerating momentum + ADX in range and rising
- →Entry Type 2 (Breakdown): Strong bearish candle (>60% body) + Lower low and lower high + Fast EMA < Slow EMA + ADX in range and rising
- →Entry Type 3 (Acceleration): Close below both EMAs + Momentum accelerating down for 2 bars + ADX in range and rising + Close < Low[1]
- →All entries between 9:00 AM - 2:00 PM ET
- →Day-specific parameters for each weekday
