Pullback With the Crowd Out
A built-in strategy on Central Command, tested on BloFin history. Held up in testing. 4H candles, long and short, category Funding and Flow.
Rules
Entry. On a closed 4H candle above the last daily EMA(50), go long when RSI(14) is below 35 and the average funding of the last 3 days (18 candles) is below 0.01%. Below the daily EMA(50), go short when RSI(14) is above 65 and 3-day funding is above 0.01% (longs still paying in a downtrend).
Managing the trade. Close a long when RSI(14) rises above 55; close a short when it falls below 45. Close after 30 candles at most.
Stop and target. Stop 2.5 x ATR(14) from the entry. No fixed target.
Exact rules
Funding is BloFin's last settled rate, in percent per 8 hours; averages are taken over the candles.
