Full Candle Strategy

The Full Candle setup enters when a candle closes beyond its EMA and leaves only a small wick on the breakout side. The intent is to trade momentum candles that show decisive action without much rejection. Optional percentage based take-profit and stop-loss exits manage the trade once it is open.

The system is best suited for short-term breakouts where strong candles often lead to quick follow-through.
