Time-based strategy that compares open prices from two past bars at a specific hour. If the earlier bar is above the recent one by a threshold, a short trade is opened. If the recent bar is above the earlier one, a long trade is opened. Each position uses fixed stop loss and take profit and is closed after a maximum holding time.
Details
Entry Criteria: At TradeTime compare open prices T1 and T2 bars ago. If Open[T1] - Open[T2] exceeds DeltaShort, sell; if Open[T2] - Open[T1] exceeds DeltaLong, buy.
Long/Short: Both directions.
Exit Criteria: Stop loss, take profit, or MaxOpenTime hours after entry.
Stops: Fixed point stop loss and take profit.
Default Values:
TakeProfitLong = 39
StopLossLong = 147
TakeProfitShort = 15
StopLossShort = 6000
TradeTime = 18
T1 = 6
T2 = 2
DeltaLong = 6
DeltaShort = 21
Volume = 0.01
MaxOpenTime = 504
