Monday Range Breakout With the Trend
A built-in strategy on Central Command, tested on BloFin history. Held up in testing. 1D candles, long and short, category Sessions.
Rules
Entry. On a closed daily candle from Tuesday to Wednesday, go long when the close crosses above Monday's high with the close above SMA(100); go short when it crosses below Monday's low with the close below SMA(100).
