/* The setup is almost similar to the Five-Minute "Momo"
strategy as described by Kathy Lien. In her book High probability trading
seteups for the currency market". So I guess all credits go to her!
Its kinda simple. But provides a good template.
Might be profitable with optimization. Written for your reference.

For this setup on the 5M chart, there are 2 main conditions for entry

1) Price crosses over [20-period EMA]
2a)MACD is positive, no longer than [5 bars ago]
2b)MACD is not positive, but increasing for the [past 5 bars]
3) ENTER {10 pips} above the [20 period EMA]within the [next 5 candles]
a) {before candle has closed }
b) {after candle has closed }

Condtions for Exit

1) {Stop loss} ---> Embedded on OrderSend
2) Exit [half position] when [at amount risked] (entrypoint +stoploss)
3) {Set a trailing stop}

Yeah. Should act as a good template for tweaking and stuff. Just finished writing it, have yet to do any backtesting or forward testing, tell me how you feel!
