Triple EMA Trend

Three EMAs aligned — trade only when all three confirm the same direction.

The triple-EMA system uses 8/21/55 EMAs. Long entries fire only when EMA8 > EMA21 > EMA55 (full bullish stack). The triple confirmation cuts whipsaws relative to a simple crossover at the cost of later entries. Excellent on assets that trend cleanly — XAUUSD, BTC, indices.
