# BBWP Squeeze Breakout

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

## Rules

**Entry.** On a closed 4H candle, when the previous candle's BBWP(13, 252) was below 25: go long on a close above the highest high of the previous 20 candles, short on a close below their lowest low.

**Managing the trade.** Once the trade is 1R in profit, a 3 x ATR(14) trailing stop follows it. Close after 60 candles at most.

**Stop and target.** Stop 2 x ATR(14) from the entry. No fixed target: the trailing stop takes the profit.
