📊 9 EMA & 20 EMA Trading Strategies
1️⃣ EMA Crossover Strategy (Trend Reversal Entry)
Idea: When the short-term EMA (9) crosses the medium EMA (20), momentum is shifting.
Steps:
1. Add 9 EMA (blue) and 20 EMA (red) on your chart.
2. Bullish Signal (Long): 9 EMA crosses above 20 EMA.
3. Bearish Signal (Short): 9 EMA crosses below 20 EMA.
4. Enter on the candle close after crossover.
5. Stop-loss: Below recent swing low (long) or swing high (short).
6. Take profit: 1.5x–2x risk, or trail stop along EMA.
👉 Works well in trending markets, avoid in sideways chop.
2️⃣ EMA Pullback Strategy (Trend Continuation Entry)
Idea: Use 9 EMA as a momentum guide and 20 EMA as dynamic support/resistance.
Steps:
1. Identify trend:
Price above both EMAs → Uptrend.
Price below both EMAs → Downtrend.
2. Wait for price to pull back near the 20 EMA.
3. Look for a reversal candle (hammer, engulfing, strong green/red bar).
4. Enter trade in trend direction.
5. Stop-loss: Just below/above 20 EMA.
6. Take profit: Next support/resistance or trail with 9 EMA.
👉 This avoids chasing breakouts and gives safer entries.
3️⃣ EMA + Support/Resistance Strategy (High-Probability Setup)
Idea: Combine EMAs with key price levels for stronger confirmation.
Steps:
1. Mark major support/resistance zones on 1H or 4H chart.
2. Check EMAs:
If 9 & 20 EMA aligned upward near support → Long.
If 9 & 20 EMA aligned downward near resistance → Short.
3. Wait for a bounce rejection/confirmation candle at that level.
4. Enter trade with confluence.
5. Stop-loss: Below support (long) / above resistance (short).
6. Take profit: Mid-range or opposite level.
👉 Fewer signals but very reliable.
✅ Golden Rules for EMA Trading
Use 15m–4H timeframes (avoid 1m/5m, too much noise).
Stick to low leverage (2x–5x) when learning.
Avoid choppy sideways markets (EMAs cross too often = fake signals).
Combine with RSI or MACD for extra confirmation.
