AwesomeEWOLambo_Shorts Strategy
A shorts-only variant of AwesomeEWOLambo, designed to profit during overbought
conditions and bear markets using Elliott Wave Oscillator momentum detection.
Original AwesomeEWOLambo (Longs):
- Author: xNighbloodx Natblida
- Entry: 4 modes (EWO high/low, lambo2, RSI divergence)
- Risk: -70% stoploss, 2% ROI target
- DCA: 8 safety orders with 1.4x scaling
Strategy Concept (Shorts):
Enter shorts when market is overbought (high RSI, price above EMAs, negative EWO momentum).
Uses 4 entry modes mirroring the long strategy but inverted for bearish conditions.
Entry Conditions:
1. short_ewo_high_rsi: High RSI (>65) + Price above MA + Negative EWO
2. short_ewo2_high_rsi: Very high RSI (>75) + Price above MA + Very negative EWO
3. short_lambo2: Price above EMA_14 + High RSI_4/RSI_14
4. short_ewo_low_rsi: High RSI + Price above MA + Positive EWO (overheated)
Exit Conditions:
- Signal: Red candle + negative difference signal
- ROI: 7% → 1.5% over 60 minutes
- Stop Loss: -18.9%
- Trailing Stop: Activates at +1.2% profit
- Unclog: -4% after 3 days
Key Differences from Long Strategy:
- Tighter stop loss: -18.9% vs -70%
- More aggressive ROI: 7% vs 2%
- Shorter unclog: 3 days vs 10 days
- Max 8 short positions (same as longs)
- All RSI thresholds inverted (100 - value)
- All EMA offsets inverted (2 - value)
