Monday Range Breakout, 4H Entry
A built-in strategy on Central Command, tested on BloFin history. Held up in testing. 4H candles, long and short, category Sessions.
Rules
Entry. Monday's high and low are those of the daily candle that closes at 00:00 UTC on Tuesday. On a closed 4H candle from Tuesday to Thursday, go long when the close crosses above Monday's high; go short when it crosses below Monday's low.
Managing the trade. Close at the open of the next Monday (after Sunday's last 4H candle) at the latest.
Stop and target. Stop at the middle of Monday's range. No fixed target: the weekend exit closes it.
Exact rules
timeframe: 4H
long entry: DAY_OF_WEEK >= 2 AND DAY_OF_WEEK <= 4

short stop: (VALUE_WHEN(DAY_OF_WEEK == 2 AND HOUR == 0, high@1D) + VALUE_WHEN(DAY_OF_WEEK == 2 AND HOUR == 0, low@1D)) / 2
take profit: none
