# Awesome Oscillator Zero Cross

A built-in strategy on Central Command, tested on BloFin history. **Thin edge in testing.** 4H candles, long and short, category Momentum.

## Rules

**Entry.** The oscillator is SMA(5) of the candle midpoint (high + low) / 2 minus SMA(34) of it. On a closed 4H candle, go long when it crosses above zero with the close above EMA(200); go short when it crosses below zero with the close below EMA(200).

**Managing the trade.** Close when the oscillator crosses back through zero.

**Stop and target.** Stop 2 x ATR(14) from the entry, never moved. No fixed target.
