Times Direction Strategy

This time-based strategy opens a single long or short position during a predefined window and closes it during another window. The entry direction is configurable and the system monitors optional stop-loss and take-profit levels. The approach relies solely on finished candles without using indicators.

Details

  • Entry Criteria:
    • When current candle time is within [OpenTime, OpenTime + TradeInterval) and no position is open, enter in the configured direction.
  • Exit Criteria:
    • Close the position when time is within [CloseTime, CloseTime + TradeInterval).
    • Additionally exit if stop-loss or take-profit levels are reached.
  • Long/Short: Configurable.
  • Stops: Stop-loss and take-profit in price units relative to entry price.
  • Default Values:
    • Trade = Sell.
    • OpenTime = 1970-01-01 00:00.
    • CloseTime = 3000-01-01 00:00.
    • TradeInterval = 1 minute.
    • StopLoss = 1000.
    • TakeProfit = 2000.
    • Volume = 0.1.
  • Filters:
    • Category: Time based
    • Direction: Single
    • Indicators: None
    • Stops: Yes
    • Complexity: Simple
    • Timeframe: Short-term
