# 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).

**Managing the trade.** Close at the end of Sunday (the open of the next Monday) at the latest.

**Stop and target.** Stop at the middle of Monday's range. No fixed target: the weekend exit closes it.

## Exact rules

## 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.

| | Trades | Return | Profit factor | Worst drop | Win rate |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Chosen on | 177 | +92.5% | 1.84 | 12.0% | 48.6% |
| Judged on | 100 | +35.4% | 1.78 | 10.4% | 53.0% |
| Whole period | 277 | +160.8% | 1.81 | 12.0% | 50.2% |

A backtest is not a result. Past results, paper or live, do not guarantee future returns.
