Smart-Money Volume Profile

Detects the precise moment of an EMA9/EMA20 cross on heavy volume (at least 2× its recent average) while volatility is still elevated (Bollinger width > 2.5%). The textbook setup for catching breakouts EARLY rather than chasing late-stage moves.

The rules

Buy when the 9 EMA crosses above the 20 EMA AND volume vs its 20-candle average is above 2× AND Bollinger Band width is above 2.5% AND RSI (14) is above 45 AND RSI (14) is below 65.

  • Buy with 12% of the balance
  • Trailing take profit: arms at +8%, sells after a 1% pullback from the high
  • Stop loss at −4%

Safety limits: max 2 trades a day · max 30% 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.
