Features
EMA Length
Set the trend filter that determines whether signals follow or counter the trend.
How It Works
The EMA acts as a trend filter, changing how signals behave:
Trend-Following Mode
Buy when:
- Price is above EMA
- Confirms uptrend
Sell when:
- Price is below EMA
- Confirms downtrend
Counter-Trend Mode
Buy when:
- Price is below EMA
- Looking for reversal up
Sell when:
- Price is above EMA
- Looking for reversal down

Important Notes
- HL Sniper/AI modes: EMA still filters but with different logic
- Higher EMA = Fewer signals but higher quality
- Lower EMA = More signals but more noise
- Start with EMA 50 for balanced results
