HSI First 30m Candle Strategy (5m Chart)

## HSI First Candle Breakout Strategy

USE on 10m TF for max profit rate.

**The HSI First Candle Breakout Strategy** is a systematic trading approach tailored for Hang Seng Index Futures during the main Hong Kong day session. The strategy is designed to capture early market momentum by reacting to the first significant move of the day.

### How It Works

- **Reference Candle:** At the start of each day session (09:00), the high and low of the first 15-minute candle are recorded.
- **Breakout Trigger:**
- A **buy (long) trade** is initiated if price breaks above the first candle’s high.
- A **sell (short) trade** is initiated if price breaks below the first candle’s low.
- **Stop Loss & Take Profit:**
- Stop-loss is placed on the opposite side of the reference candle.
- Take-profit target is set at a distance equal to the size of the reference candle (1R).
- **Filters:**
- Skip the day if the first candle’s range exceeds 200 index points.
- Only the first triggered direction is traded per session.
- All trades are closed before the market closes if neither target nor stop is hit.
- **Execution:** The strategy works best on intraday charts (5m or 15m) and is ideal for traders seeking disciplined, systematic intraday setups.

### Key Features
