Downward Crossover · Instant Strength (No Momentum)
Main criterionSHORT
After the fast EMA crossed below the slow EMA, it goes short if the gap is above the threshold right now. The gap does not need to be widening.
Main criterion or helper filter?
MAIN CRITERION — Can be an entry rule on its own: it looks for an event HAPPENING on a specific candle and fires there. Holds in 1 of 27 candles in this scenario (4%).
Why does it work this way?
The momentum condition raises signal quality but lowers signal count. On some coins the gap does not grow smoothly — one bar widens, the next narrows, and a single narrowing bar kills the opportunity. Flex asks is there strength, not is strength growing.
Which one should I choose?
Too few signals and you feel you are missing moves → Instant Strength. Too many false signals and you want to filter entries → Strength Expanding. Same threshold, only the third condition differs.
Which settings does it read?
The look-back window is how fresh the cross must be; the width threshold is the gap as a share of price. The shaded area is that gap.
Does this condition close the position?
It only approves the entry; even if the condition breaks later, it does not close the position. What closes it is your choice: if Profit Lock is on, PNL tracking (while it is on, the Trailing Stop, Take Profit Net and Limit TP Net boxes are locked); if it is off, the figures you enter in these three are placed on Binance as orders and the position closes there. DCA Rescue and Liquidation Shield step in under their own conditions; you can also always close it with CLOSE on the panel or manually on Binance.
