80% Rule Backtest
Strategy Overview: 80% Rule Backtest Tool
This strategy tester is designed to validate the classic 80% Rule setup within a defined ETH futures session. Signals are triggered when price reenters the prior day's value area and holds for a qualified duration — targeting the Point of Control (POC) for primary exits, while tracking full value area traversals for research purposes.
- 📅 Session Logic: Anchored to a true 22-hour ETH futures window (5PM–3PM Pacific), with global time zone support
- 🧠 Signal Confirmation: Price must reenter and hold inside value area for ≥ 45 minutes to validate entry
Note: Optimized for 15-minute charts — aligns exactly with traditional rule definition (3-bar hold)
- 🎯 Targets: Primary TP at POC; visual logs for full VAH/VAL reach
- 🔍 Manual Override Mode: Precise SVP-level control when auto logic isn’t preferred
- 🔧 Debug Mode: Single-bar diagnostic labels for development and forward testing
This tool supports both auto-calculated and manually anchored value areas, allowing traders to blend systematic backtesting with discretionary insight.
