# Breakout With Funding Below Normal, Long Only

A built-in strategy on Central Command, tested on BloFin history. **Held up on its coins, not on others.** 4H candles, long only, category Funding and Flow.

## Rules

**Entry.** On a closed 4H candle, go long when the close is above the highest high of the previous 40 candles and above EMA(200), and the average funding of the last 3 days (18 candles) is below its average over 42 candles. Long only.

**Managing the trade.** Close when a 4H candle closes below the lowest low of the previous 20 candles.

**Stop and target.** Stop 3 x ATR(14) from the entry. No fixed target.

## Exact rules

```text

Funding is BloFin's last settled rate, in percent per 8 hours; averages are taken over the candles. A live agent reads the last 14 days of funding, so the longer average stays under that.
