Supertrend, 8H, With Daily Filter, Long Only
A built-in strategy on Central Command, tested on BloFin history. Thin edge in testing. 8H candles, long only, category Multi-Timeframe.
Rules
Entry. On a closed 8H candle, go long when Supertrend(10, 3) flips up and the last closed daily candle closed above its EMA(50). Long only.
Managing the trade. Close when the 8H Supertrend turns down.
Stop and target. Stop 2.5 x ATR(14) on the 8H chart from the entry, never moved. No fixed target: the flip exits.
Exact rules
8H candles close at 00:00, 08:00 and 16:00 UTC, so a signal is checked three times a day. The daily filter reads the last CLOSED daily candle, never the one still forming.
