# 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

```text

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.

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