First 30M Candle Rule Ref / 5M Entries

258
This strategy highlights and reacts to two key 30-minute candles on the Romanian market schedule — at 10:30 AM and 15:30 or 16:30 (depending on daylight saving time).
It is designed to run on a 5-minute chart, using the 30-minute candles as reference points for potential entries.

When each 30-minute candle closes, the script:

Colors the background during that specific 30-minute period (green for the morning session, red for the afternoon session)

Sends an alert confirming the candle’s closure

Places a symbolic long trade after the 10:30 candle closes and a symbolic short trade after the afternoon candle closes (for backtesting purposes)

This setup allows traders to test or automate strategies that rely on market reactions following key time-based candles, without plotting any extra lines on the chart.
