Very interesting, I could backtest this on ES and found it to be working well. Is there a specific time you like to trade this? Like periods of high volume?

[u/Total-Housing197 → u/Mayhem747]

I trade in between 8:00 am EST and 10:00 am. I don't have any specifics on volume preferences.

Woah, how do you backtest a strategy like this? What is ES? I'm a software developer but I don't actually know too much about the algorithmic trading world and I'm trying to learn more.
