A breakout trading strategy called the '2020 Strategy' involves using the 20 EMA on both daily and hourly charts. For a long trade, the market must be above the 20 EMA on the daily chart, with no candlesticks touching it. On the hourly chart, after an impulsive move up, there should be at least two pullback candles that do not touch the 20 EMA. The entry is triggered by a buy-stop order placed at the high of the previous swing high, with the condition that no candles touch the 20 EMA during the pullback and breakout.
"The 2020 strategy is based on a 20 EMA on the daily and also heavily on a 20 EMA on the one-hour chart. Our same rules for trend we need the market to not be touching the 20 EMA at all... and on the one hour chart I need to see an impulsive move pushing up followed by at least a 2 candle pullback from the swing high... I need these two candles and not to touch the 20 EMA at this point... I'm putting a buy stop order right here at D high... the market to come up and break through this swing high again none of the candles can touch the 20 ma if any candle touches the 20 EMA it invalidates the trade I'm looking for very very volatile breakouts with this strategy."
