80-20 Strategy

The strategy detects candles where price closes in the top or bottom 20% of the session. A bullish signal occurs when the close is within the upper fifth and the open is within the lower fifth of the range. A bearish signal occurs when the open is within the upper fifth and the close is within the lower fifth. The approach aims to capture rapid reversals from extreme candle closes.
