Simple Trend-Following Strategy

[ravi2608ap]

I’ve been experimenting with a simple trend-following strategy: use a 20 EMA for trend direction, RSI to check for pullbacks, and trade in the direction of the trend only. The results so far are encouraging, but I’d like to see what tweaks others make to improve risk-reward.

In my experience with hfm, a 20 EMA + RSI pullback approach works best when you add a higher-timeframe filter, like only taking M15 entries in the direction of the H1 or H4 20 EMA. I’ve also found that using ATR for dynamic stops (e.g. 1.5–2x ATR) and targeting recent structure highs/lows improves R:R versus a fixed TP
