Friday Bond Short Strategy
Strategy: Friday Bond Short Strategy (1H Timeframe)
Objective:
This strategy aims to open short positions on a specified day and hour (Eastern Time) and close those positions on another specified day and hour. The background color of the chart will turn green when a position is active, providing a visual cue of an open trade.
Parameters:
1. Entry Day:
• Defines the day of the week on which the short position will be opened.
• Value: 6 for Friday (Pine Script’s weekday numbering: Monday = 2, Friday = 6).
2. Entry Hour:
• Specifies the hour (Eastern Time) when the short position will be opened.
• Value: 13 for 13:00 ET (1:00 PM).
3. Exit Day:
• Defines the day of the week on which the short position will be closed.
• Value: 2 for Monday.
4. Exit Hour:
• Specifies the hour (Eastern Time) when the position will be closed.
• Value: 13 for 13:00 ET (1:00 PM).
How It Works:
1. Time Adjustment to Eastern Time:
• The script converts all time references to Eastern Time (America/New_York) to ensure the strategy operates according to the desired time zone.
2. Entry Conditions:
• The strategy checks if the current day of the week matches the specified entry_day and if the current hour matches the specified entry_hour.
• If both conditions are met, a short position is opened (strategy.entry("Short", strategy.short)).
3. Exit Conditions:
• Similarly, the strategy checks if the current day of the week matches the specified exit_day and if the current hour matches the specified exit_hour.
• If both conditions are met, the open short position is closed (strategy.close("Short")).
4. Background Color:
• The background color of the chart is adjusted based on whether there is an open position:
• Green Background: If the strategy has an open position (strategy.position_size > 0), the background is set to light green.
• No Background Color: If there is no open position, the background color is not set (na).
Summary:
The Friday Bond Short Strategy is designed to enter short positions on Fridays at 1:00 PM ET and close them on Mondays at 1:00 PM ET. The chart background color turns green when a short position is active, providing a clear visual indication of when the strategy is engaged in a trade.
