BULL / BEAR 180 LABSINGLE STRATEGY · CAUSAL BACKTEST

SIMULATED ONLY

ONE STRATEGY / 2-MINUTE PRICE ACTION

Bull / Bear 180°
Momentum Backtest.

Backtest your exact engulfing setup: a large red candle fully body-engulfed by a green candle above the 20 and 200 SMAs, or the bearish mirror below them. Evaluate whether a greater 20-SMA distance actually improves performance. No other strategies or comparison variants.

Predeclared rules: The first 2-minute candle must have a body ≥ threshold × preceding ATR14. The second candle must have the opposite color and entirely engulf the first candle's body. Long strict setup: both candles' lows above their respective 20 and 200 SMAs. Short: both highs below. Enter the next candle's open; stop at the two-candle extreme; target at a fixed 2R; stop wins if target and stop are both hit in one bar. One position at a time for the single strategy. Positions close at the time limit or test end.
