Pullback-in-Trend

In an established uptrend (20 EMA above 50 EMA, price still above the 50 EMA), buys pullbacks below the 20 EMA once RSI has cooled under 45. Buys weakness inside strength instead of chasing. Trailing exit; suits 4h candles.

The rules

Buy when the 20 EMA is above the 50 EMA AND price is above the 50 EMA AND price is below the 20 EMA AND RSI (14) is below 45.

  • Buy with 12% of the balance
  • Trailing take profit: arms at +6%, sells after a 2% pullback from the high
  • Stop loss at −3%

Safety limits: max 2 trades a day · max 15% of the balance in a trade · pauses for the day after a 4% daily loss · halts after a 10% 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.
