Above the Long Average, Long Only
A built-in strategy on Central Command, tested on BloFin history. Held up in testing. 1D candles, long only, category Trend Following.
Rules
Entry. On a closed daily candle, go long when the close crosses above SMA(100). Long only.
Managing the trade. Close when a daily candle closes below SMA(100).
Stop and target. Stop 4 x ATR(14) on the daily chart from the entry, as a disaster stop; the average is the real exit. No fixed target.
Exact rules
At 1% risk with a stop this wide, positions are small: this is a filter to put other strategies under as much as a strategy of its own.
