Caudate Candlestick Signals with a Time-Based Position Exit

Summary

This trading system opens a position when a bar closes with a caudate candlestick signal from the CaudateXPeriodCandle indicator. It can also close the position after a preset holding period, making elapsed time an explicit exit rule. The example configuration uses a holding limit of 240 minutes, and the system requires the compiled indicator file to be installed for the Expert Advisor to operate.

The document refers to example trades and test results for GBPUSD on the four-hour chart in 2016, using the Expert Advisor’s default inputs. Stop loss and take profit were not used in those tests. However, it supplies no performance figures or sufficient details about costs, execution, or evaluation methodology, so the example does not establish that the approach is profitable or robust. The note describes a rule set and a historical test context, not a complete assessment of trading risk.
