One-Minute Candlestick Close-Direction Breakout Strategy

Summary

This short-term strategy uses each one-minute candle’s direction as its trading signal. It goes long after a candle closes above its open and short after a candle closes below its open, then closes positions at the following candle’s close. The description also specifies a daily cap of 200 trades and says each trade uses 1% of account funds.

The document explains the rules and suggests filters such as volume, trend, volatility, and time of day as possible refinements. It provides BTC/USDT Binance futures backtest settings covering January to December 2024, but reports no performance results. The supplied strategy source uses a fixed quantity and does not show the stated 1% sizing; its trade counter also resets by day of month. Costs, slippage, and execution effects are not evaluated, and rapid trading may make them material.

Key ideas

• A bullish candle triggers a long entry, while a bearish candle triggers a short entry.
• Positions are intended to close after the next candle closes.
• The description sets a 200-trade daily limit and cites 1% account allocation per trade.
• Volume, trend, volatility, and time filters are proposed as potential improvements.
• The document provides backtest settings but no performance evidence.
