Inverse MACD + DMI Scalping with Volatility Stop (By Coinrule)

Script from: TradingViewSwingScalpingTrend followingMomentumBotVolatility

This strategy uses the Inverse MACD and DMI to signal shorting opportunities amidst downtrends. Ideal for scalping, it’s effective for hedging long-term holdings or trading futures. Entry is signaled by a bearish MACD histogram and a higher negative DMI than positive. Exits include a fixed take-profit or when price crosses above a trailing volatility stop. Backtests show strong performance, particularly on mid-term timeframes and specific coin pairs, accounting for a standard trading fee.
