feature-f7-candle-limit

What problem does it solve?

It prevents trades from being entered too late during a daily limit-up streak by enforcing an upper bound on the “limit-up touched” candle sequence index.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Daily limit-up sequence gating: Only allows entries when the calculated daily “limit-up touched” candle index is within the configured limit (inclusive).
• Configurable control: Lets you enable/disable the rule and adjust the maximum allowed candle index via f7_enabled and candle_limit.
• Clear handling of intraday repeats: Does not increase the candle index if the stock opens and re-closes to the limit-up within the same day; the index tracks daily sequencing only.
• Use Case: If a strategy should only buy the first or second daily limit-up touch (e.g., to avoid chasing), apply this gate to entry logic so late touches are blocked.

Quick Start

Tell the system to enable F7 and set candle_limit to 2 so entries are allowed only within the first two daily limit-up touched candle indices.
