# 🔵 Core

Core is a daily timeframe strategy running on the S\&P 500 futures (ES). Operating on the daily chart makes it a longer-duration, lower-frequency algorithm compared to the intraday strategies in the Hextrade library.

## Available Variants

| Channel      | Instrument    | Timeframe  |
| ------------ | ------------- | ---------- |
| `es-core-1d` | S\&P 500 (ES) | Daily (1D) |

## About Daily Timeframe Algorithms

Daily algorithms hold positions for longer periods than intraday strategies. Key considerations:

* **Fewer trades** — signals fire once per day at most.
* **Larger moves targeted** — designed to capture multi-day trends rather than intraday fluctuations.
* **Overnight risk** — positions may be held overnight and through weekends.
* **Prop firm rules** — some prop firms restrict or prohibit overnight/weekend holds. Check your firm's rules before connecting Core.

<Warning>
  Daily strategies carry overnight and weekend exposure. Verify your prop firm or broker permits holding positions outside regular trading hours before using Core.
