Intraday continuation after price exceeds the previous five bars' high.
No AI qualification submitted
This strategy keeps its course or research provenance. A normal backtest snapshot cannot award the AI-generated label.
How the strategy works
The model assumes that taking out the highest price of the last five intraday bars can start a short burst of upward continuation. It waits with a buy-stop instead of predicting the breakout, then closes before the session ends.
Concrete example
If the previous five 5-minute highs peak at 500.00, the long trigger is 500.00. A gap or bar opening at 500.30 is filled at 500.30, not at the stale 500.00 level, and the position is closed by 16:00 ET.
Exact algorithm
- Calculate the highest high of the previous 5 bars.
- Enter long on a stop through that level.
- Stop accepting entries after 15:45 ET.
- Flatten at 16:00 ET.
Required data: ohlcv
Where it may work—and where it can fail
Main risks
- False breakouts that reverse immediately
- Repeated signals in choppy markets
- Slippage when price jumps through the stop
- A five-bar lookback may not transfer across markets
“Best conditions” is an interpretation of the strategy's mechanism, not an additional course entry rule and not a performance guarantee.

Capital basis is allocated paper equity. Gross notional uses the exposure stored with that exact fill; legacy fills with no recorded exposure are shown as unknown. A new semantic paper generation archives the prior run and restarts the forward clock.
Archived paper versions
Read-only prior runs preserve their executable manifest, balances, and fills. They never contribute to the active clock, cash, or qualification.
