# 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

```text

timeframe: 4H
long entry: DAY_OF_WEEK >= 2 AND DAY_OF_WEEK <= 4
long entry: CROSS_UP(close, VALUE_WHEN(DAY_OF_WEEK == 2 AND HOUR == 0, high@1D))
short entry: DAY_OF_WEEK >= 2 AND DAY_OF_WEEK <= 4
short entry: CROSS_DOWN(close, VALUE_WHEN(DAY_OF_WEEK == 2 AND HOUR == 0, low@1D))
long stop: (VALUE_WHEN(DAY_OF_WEEK == 2 AND HOUR == 0, high@1D) + VALUE_WHEN(DAY_OF_WEEK == 2 AND HOUR == 0, low@1D)) / 2
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
exit: DAY_OF_WEEK == 0 AND HOUR == 20

## How it tested

Settings were chosen on 2023-10-01 to 2025-08-01, then judged once on 2025-08-01 to 2026-10-19, which was not looked at while choosing. Figures are after fees, on BTC, ETH, SOL, XRP, DOGE, BNB.
