This test explores how BTCUSD behaves on a higher timeframe using a balanced risk-to-reward configuration.

The strategy is powered by Nova FI Trader, using a structured logic designed for consistent execution.
This setup focuses on simplicity and balance, using equal take profit and stop loss values.
Core Strategy Overview:
Nova FI Trader is based on the Force Index (FI), a momentum indicator that combines price movement with trading volume.
The strategy reacts when momentum crosses a defined threshold:
- Buy signal: current closed bar > threshold AND previous closed bar < threshold
- Sell signal: current closed bar < threshold AND previous closed bar > threshold
This approach focuses on confirmed market participation rather than prediction.
