Long positions are opened by a limit order at the price of the lime line.
Short positions shall be opened by a limit order at the price of the red line.
Any positions shall be closed by a market order.
If a long position is open, the position shall be exited upon the occurrence of any rising bar (green bar).

Symbols

This is a very versatile strategy. It can be profitable on any trading pairs, on any asset class, and on any timeframe. But it requires the right parameters to perform well (see recommendations below).

The more volatile the asset, the better the strategy will work.
The more volatility , the more you need to set a slider for your orders.
