Buy when price crosses above the highest high of the last 20 bars, between 9:30 and 11:00 New York, and risk 8 points for a 16-point target.

How a strategy reads
Almost every strategy has the same four layers, left to right:
- Values. Price, an indicator, a level, the time. Numbers that change bar by bar.
- Conditions. A Comparison, a Crossover, a Time Window. Each turns values into true or false.
- Logic. AND, OR, NOT and Tally combine conditions into one signal.
- Orders. The Entry opens a trade when its signal is true; the Trade node and the Bracket Order manage it until it closes.
If you're building your first strategy, start with the Visual Builder overview. The indicators and the price-action nodes have their own references: the Indicator Reference and the Price Action Reference.
One idea, one node. A crossover is one Crossover node, a time rule is one Time Window, a level is one Price History. If you catch yourself wiring four nodes to say one thing, there's usually a node that says it directly, and it'll be easier to read and harder to get one bar off.
