# 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.
