# Last Week's High and Low Breakout

A built-in strategy on Central Command, tested on BloFin history. **Thin edge in testing.** 1D candles, long and short, category Sessions.

## Rules

**Entry.** Last week runs Monday to Sunday (UTC). On a closed daily candle, go long when the close crosses above last week's high; go short when it crosses below last week's low.

**Managing the trade.** Close a long on a daily close below the previous completed week's low; close a short on a close above its high. The levels move each Monday.

**Stop and target.** Stop 3.5 x ATR(14) on the daily chart from the entry. No fixed target.
