Near the High, 4H Entry, Daily Exit
A built-in strategy on Central Command, tested on BloFin history. Thin edge in testing. 4H candles, long only, category Momentum.
Rules
Entry. On a closed 4H candle, go long when the close is within 10% of the highest high of the last 1080 candles (180 days) and the last daily close is above its SMA(50). Long only.
Managing the trade. Close when a daily candle closes below its SMA(50).
Stop and target. Stop 3 x ATR(14) on the 4H chart from the entry. No fixed target: the daily exit takes the profit.
Exact rules
The daily average reads the last CLOSED daily candle. After a stop, a new entry needs the close back within the zone.
