BTC Seasonality Strategy (Weekly)

This strategy identifies potential weekend opportunities in Bitcoin (BTC) markets by leveraging the concept of seasonality, entering a position at a predefined time and day, and exiting at a specified time and day.

Key Features

Customizable Time and Day Selection:

Users can select the entry and exit days and corresponding times (in EST).

Directional Flexibility:

The strategy allows traders to choose between long or short positions.

TradingView Compliance:

The script adheres to TradingView's house rules, avoids overly complex conditions, and provides clear user-configurable inputs.

How It Works

The script determines the current weekday and hour in EST, converting TradingView's UTC time for accurate comparisons.

If the current day and hour match the selected entry conditions, a trade (long or short) is opened.

The position is closed when the current day and hour match the specified exit conditions.
