🐑 SHEEP v1.0.0 — Long-Only Triple-EMA-Stacked Trend
Buy crypto only when it's clearly going up across every timeframe. Sheep fires LONG only when the fast EMA is above the slow EMA on all three timeframes (15m + 1h + 4h). Never shorts. Removes the "what's a short?" cognitive load.
Why this strategy exists
Most trend agents in the fleet pick a single timeframe (Beaver/Heron/Hummingbird → 4h; Hawk → 7d breakout; Salamander → 4h pullback). Sheep insists on agreement across three timeframes before firing — a stricter filter, fewer trades, but each is "obviously up" by any chart reader's standard. For beginners who want a long-only trend follower without learning what shorts are, Sheep is the answer.
CRITICAL RULES
RULE 1: Triple stack OR nothing
For each whitelisted asset, the producer checks ema(fast) > ema(slow) on 15m, 1h, AND 4h. By default it requires all three (minStackedFrames: 3). One timeframe stacked is not enough.
RULE 2: LONG only
Sheep never shorts. The LLM gate hard-skips any non-LONG direction (defensive).
RULE 3: Score boosts from spread magnitude + SM
Score = 3 (base, full stack) + bonuses for wider 4h spread (≥1%), wider 1h spread (≥0.5%), and SM aligned LONG (≥55%, +1 strong if ≥70%). Floor minScore: 4 so a clean spread or SM agreement clears.
