    • Asia Short: during the Asia session if price closes above the Asia session high.
  • Long/Short: Both sides.
  • Exit Criteria:
    • Each trade uses stop loss and take profit defined in ticks.
  • Stops: Yes.
  • Default Values:
    • ShortStopTicks = 10
    • ShortTakeTicks = 20
    • BuyStopTicks = 10
    • BuyTakeTicks = 20
    • AsiaStopTicks = 10
    • AsiaTakeTicks = 15
    • CandleType = TimeSpan.FromMinutes(1).TimeFrame().
  • Filters:
