The CamarillaStrategy -V1 - H4 and L4 breakout - exits added indicator is a systematic trading tool designed to capture trend reversals or continuations based on the breakout of specific Camarilla pivot levels while utilizing an Exponential Moving Average (EMA) for trend confirmation.

Usage

The strategy focuses on two primary price levels derived from Camarilla equations: the H4 (Resistance) and L4 (Support) levels.

  • Long Entry: A long position is triggered when the price opens below the H4 level but closes above it, provided the current close is also above the 8-period EMA. This signifies a bullish breakout with momentum.
  • Short Entry: A short position is triggered when the price opens above the L4 level but closes below it, provided the current close is also below the 8-period EMA. This signifies a bearish breakdown.
  • Exits: The strategy utilizes automated trailing stops to lock in profits as the trade progresses, alongside fixed stop-loss levels to manage risk.

Details

The script uses the Camarilla pivot point calculation, which is a variation of classical pivots that provides more specific levels for support and resistance. The levels are calculated using the previous day's high, low, and close prices via request.security, ensuring the levels remain static throughout the trading day.

The core logic relies on the H4 and L4 levels, which are traditionally viewed as strong breakout points. To filter out false breakouts, the script integrates an 8-period EMA. This ensures that the strategy only enters a trade when the price action is aligned with the short-term trend.

Settings

  • Trail Points: Determines the distance (in ticks/points) the price must move in favor of the trade before the trailing stop is activated.
  • Trail Offset: Sets the distance the trailing stop follows behind the price once activated.
  • Loss: Defines the fixed stop-loss value to protect the position from significant adverse movements.
  • EMA Period: The default 8-period EMA used to determine trend alignment for entries.
