Major Trend Reversal Snipe
Targets the rare moment when the 20-period EMA crosses above the 50-period EMA (a structural trend reversal — much bigger event than a 9/20 cross), confirmed by price follow-through, momentum in the neutral-bullish zone, institutional volume, and expanding (not stagnant) volatility. High conviction, low frequency.
The rules
Buy when the 20 EMA crosses above the 50 EMA AND price is above the 20 EMA AND RSI (14) is above 45 AND RSI (14) is below 70 AND volume vs its 20-candle average is above 1.8× AND Bollinger Band width is above 2%.
- Buy with 15% of the balance
- Trailing take profit: arms at +10%, sells after a 1% pullback from the high
- Trailing stop 3% below the highest price
Safety limits: max 1 trade a day · max 35% of the balance in a trade · pauses for the day after a 5% daily loss · halts after a 12% drawdown.
Weekly backtest scorecard
This strategy is backtested every week on real exchange prices for the most-traded coins (at least BTC and ETH) on 1h, 4h and 1d candles, across two separate 6-month periods and two fee levels. Logged-in users can also test it on any coin. Every result is shown, including losses, next to what simply holding would have done.
