ARBF Breakout Modes, Risk Controls, and Scaled Exits

Article Strategy library · Author: d_jaeger

Summary

This strategy script describes two selectable trading modes, labeled Break and ABLC, with an option to compare them. It exposes direction controls, a per-trade risk setting, a one-trade-per-day limit, and a time-based exit. Backtests can be restricted to a chosen date range, and the defaults include a start date in 2022, fixed order sizing, commission, and slippage assumptions.

Its exit engine supports a single profit target or staged targets, with configurable reward multiples and quantities. After the first or second target, the stop can remain at its current level, move to break-even, or lock in a target level; a third target can act as a trailing runner. The document also describes timezone handling for day filters and different Asia-range gates for crypto and gold profiles. It provides configuration details rather than performance results or evidence that the approach is profitable. The source excerpt ends partway through the exit settings, so the entry and ABLC rules cannot be fully assessed.

Key ideas

  • The script offers Break and ABLC modes, with a comparison setting.
  • Risk controls include a per-trade risk input, a daily trade cap, and long or short toggles.
  • Exits can use a single target or scale out across multiple reward levels.
  • Stop placement can change after early targets, and the final position can use a trailing runner.
  • The document gives setup information but no performance evidence, and its source excerpt is incomplete.
