Aroon Trend
A built-in strategy on Central Command, tested on BloFin history. Held up on its coins, not on others. 4H candles, long and short, category Momentum.
Rules
Entry. Read as Aroon(50): on a closed 4H candle, go long when price made a new 50-candle high within the last 16 candles (Aroon Up 70 or more) and no new 50-candle low in the last 35 (Aroon Down 30 or less). Go short the other way round.
Managing the trade. Close a long when there has been no new 50-candle high for 35 candles (Aroon Up below 30); close a short when there has been no new 50-candle low for that long.
Stop and target. Stop 2.5 x ATR(14) from the entry. No fixed target.
