Long entries

Enter when most of these line up on the same bar or within 1–2 bars:

Unified BUY marker prints.

Price above EMA(9) (white) and preferably above EMA(20) (blue) if you’ve enabled it.

RSI > 50 (your flow block turns “bullish”).

Dominance: DM Buy Dom% > 50% (table row 7).

Volume: “UNUSUAL” helps confirm.

Trigger options

Conservative: Wait for the bar to close above EMA(9) with a Unified BUY.

Aggressive: Enter on the break of the Unified BUY bar’s high, if it remains above EMA(9).

Initial stop

Use ATR stop: stop = entry − (1.0–1.5) × ATR(flowAtrLen)
or

Structure stop: below the most recent swing low or below EMA(20) if you use it as trend filter.

2) Short entries

Mirror the above:

Unified SELL marker.

Price below EMA(9) (white) and preferably below EMA(50) (green) / EMA(20).

RSI < 50, DM Sell Dom% > 50%.

UNUSUAL volume confirms.

Trigger

Conservative: close below EMA(9) with Unified SELL.

Aggressive: break of the signal bar’s low, staying below EMA(9).

Initial stop

stop = entry + (1.0–1.5) × ATR or above recent swing high / above EMA(20).

Make the 9-EMA your “decision line”

Think of the 9-EMA as the heartbeat of the move. It tells you whether to hold or get out:

When you’re in a long

Hold while:

Price closes above EMA(9), and

EMA(9) is rising (higher highs/lows on the line), and

No Unified SELL has printed.

Trim/defend when:

You get wicks into PDH/PMH or major levels and momentum slows (RSI rolls over toward 50).

Exit (or reduce) on close when any of these happen:

A full candle close below EMA(9) (not just a wick), and the next bar fails to reclaim EMA(9).

A Unified SELL prints while price is under EMA(9).

RSI loses 50 and DM Buy Dom% drops < 50% (momentum shift).

Hard exit if your stop or structure break is hit.

When you’re in a short

Hold while price closes below EMA(9) and the line is sloping down.

Exit/trim on a close above EMA(9) that does not fail on the next bar, or a Unified BUY while price holds above EMA(9).

Simple rule of thumb:
Above a rising EMA(9) = stay long/defend.
Below a falling EMA(9) = stay short/defend.
Two-sided closes through EMA(9) (lose it and fail to reclaim next bar) = decision to flatten or flip.

Trade management & scaling

Trail with EMA(9):

For longs, trail your stop a tick under EMA(9) once price is > +1× ATR from entry.

For shorts, trail a tick above EMA(9).

Add-ons: Only add when price pulls back to EMA(9) and holds, and trend context (ADX/volume/RSI/DM dominance) remains intact.

First profit target: Prior day levels (PDH/PDL) or 1× ATR. Move stop to breakeven once first target is hit.

Higher timeframe confluence: Entries aligned with higher-TF EMA(20/50) bias are higher quality.

Checklist (copy/paste to your notes)

Before entry

ADX strong? ☐

Volume UNUSUAL? ☐

Unified signal in direction? ☐

Price on correct side of EMA(9)? ☐

RSI >50 (long) or <50 (short)? ☐

DM dominance in your favor? ☐

Not buying into PDH/PMH or selling into PDL/PML? ☐

Stop level set (ATR or structure)? ☐

While in trade

Two quick examples

Long example

ADX = STRONG, Volume = UNUSUAL, Unified BUY prints.

Price closes above EMA(9); RSI = 55; DM Buy Dom% = 62%.

Enter on close; stop = entry − 1.2× ATR.

Hold while closes stay above EMA(9).

Take partial at PDH; trail stop a tick under EMA(9).

Exit remainder when a candle closes below EMA(9) and next bar fails to reclaim.

Short example

ADX = VERY STRONG, Unified SELL prints, RSI = 44, DM Sell Dom% = 58%.

Enter on break of signal bar low; stop = entry + 1× ATR.

Trail above EMA(9) after +1× ATR in profit.

Final exit on close above EMA(9) that holds.
