Overview
Inside a user-set start and end date, it opens a long entry whenever the calendar day of the month matches the entry day. If the exit-day option is on, it closes every position on the day before the chosen exit day; otherwise it holds until the backtest window ends. There is no stop loss, and pyramiding allows many stacked long entries.
- Calendar day-of-month long entries
- Optional monthly exit-day close
- Configurable backtest date window
- Close-all when the date range ends
- High pyramiding with no stop loss
