Plan

This strategy is on a paid plan

Free includes EMA 9/20 Long and SMA 50/200 Long. The daily library is $7/month. Minute and session tests are $12/month.

Billing is not connected yet. Settings on this browser can switch Free, $7, and $12 so you can try each one.

Risk warning

Short selling can lose more than you put in

This strategy opens short positions (selling first, buying later). Unlike a long trade where the most you can lose is roughly the money you put in, a short has theoretically unlimited loss if price keeps rising.
