3 EMA + Stochastic RSI + ATR

Script from: TradingViewSwingTrend followingMomentumVolatility

The "3 EMA + Stochastic RSI + ATR" trading strategy combines three exponential moving averages (EMAs) for trend identification and entry signals—long positions when the price closes above the quickest EMA and short positions when below. Trade management includes a stop loss set to 1 Average True Range (ATR) from the entry price and a take profit of 4 ATRs. The Stochastic RSI crossover is optional and can be edited in the code.
