Squeeze → Trend Breakout
Waits for a volatility squeeze (Bollinger width under 5%), then buys the candle where price crosses back above the 20 EMA on above-normal volume while the 20 EMA is above the 50 EMA. Trailing exit and trailing stop. Suits 1d or 4h candles.
The rules
Buy when Bollinger Band width is below 5% AND price crosses above the 20 EMA AND the 20 EMA is above the 50 EMA AND volume vs its 20-candle average is above 1.3×.
- Buy with 15% of the balance
- Trailing take profit: arms at +8%, sells after a 3% pullback from the high
- Trailing stop 5% below the highest price
Safety limits: max 1 trade a day · max 15% 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.
