Patient Dip Ladder (DCA)

Starts a small buy when RSI drops below 35, then adds 3 safety orders every 4% lower, so the average price improves if the dip continues. Sells 5% above the average price; the 18% stop sits below the last safety order. Suits 4h candles.

The rules

Buy when RSI (14) is below 35.

  • DCA: first buy 5% of the balance, then 3 safety orders every 4% lower
  • Take profit at +5% from the average entry
  • Stop loss at −18%

Safety limits: max 1 trade a day · max 20% of the balance in a trade · pauses for the day after a 5% daily loss · halts after a 15% 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.
