Sell when candle OPENS above 20EMA and CLOSES below 20EMA

3) No Trade if the price moves more than 1xATR14 from the 20EMA

Standard Trade Management Rules

1) If, after entry, the candle closes back on the opposite side of the 20EMA, close for a loss

2) Full Size Position if Vol >= 100% vol avg
1/2-Size Position if Vol >= 75% vol avg

3) Stop-Loss = 1.5 X ATR
1st Target = 1 X ATR

4) 1/2 off at 1st Target for profit - move Stop-Loss to break-even on remainder
