Power Hour Money Strategy

This strategy trades during selected New York sessions and opens positions when all major time frames agree. A long position is taken when month, week, day and hour candles close higher than they open. A short position is taken when all of them close lower. Optional trailing stops protect profits, and positions can be closed at 16:45.

Details

  • Entry: long when all time frames are green, short when all are red.
  • Session filter: NY 9:30-11:30, extended 8:00-16:00 or all sessions.
  • Trailing stop: percent-based for long and short sides.
  • End of day: optional closing of all positions at 16:45.
