Keltner & MA (H1)

A trend‑following framework on H1 that blends Keltner Channels with a moving‑average bias. We trade pullbacks to value and exits on renewed momentum.

Tools & settings

• Keltner Channels (EMA20, ATR × 1.5–2.0).
• EMA(50) as structure/bias filter; optional EMA(20) as trigger.
• ATR(14, H1) for stop sizing; session markers if needed.

Market idea

Use the middle Keltner as the mean and the outer bands as context. Join the trend when price returns to value and momentum resumes.

Long setup

1. Bias: price above EMA50; channel sloping up.
2. Pullback to mid‑Keltner / EMA20 zone. Trigger: bullish close back above mid‑line or break‑and‑hold of the pullback high.

Short setup

1. Bias: price below EMA50; channel sloping down.
2. Pullback to mid‑Keltner / EMA20 zone. Trigger: bearish close below mid‑line or break‑and‑hold of the pullback low.

Risk & management

• Stop‑loss: beyond the opposite Keltner band or ATR(14) × 1.0–1.4.
• TP1: scale ½ at 1.0R–1.5R; TP2: trail by EMA20 or swing structure.
• Skip mid‑range chop and high‑impact news windows.
