Session-Based FCPO Momentum Scalping with ATR and Trade Limits
Summary
This FCPO strategy is designed around specified market sessions and configurable presets for shorter and longer chart intervals. Its stated approach combines momentum entries with an ATR volatility floor and ceiling, minimum candle body size and body-to-range ratio, and optional trendline breakout confirmation. It also offers direction and weekday filters, time-based exits, a daily trade cap, end-of-day handling, exclusion windows, and monthly profit or loss circuit breakers. The settings are intended to manage when trades are allowed and how long exposure persists.
The script includes specific Malaysian session and weekday configurations and claims that some filters and presets reflect prior testing, but the excerpt does not provide a complete methodology, independent validation, or enough detail to assess robustness. Performance figures embedded in tooltips should be treated as author-reported claims, not established evidence. Results may depend on the chosen preset, timeframe, contract conventions, and execution assumptions.
Key ideas
- The strategy restricts entries to configured FCPO sessions and can exclude selected time windows and weekdays.
- ATR bounds, candle-body criteria, and optional pivot-based trendlines filter for volatility and momentum conditions.
- Preset and manual settings control take-profit and stop-loss distances, with optional time exits and end-of-day closure.
- Daily trade limits and monthly profit or loss thresholds can pause new entries.
- The embedded performance claims lack a complete testing methodology in the provided document.
