Volume-Confirmed Breakout
Buys when price closes above the upper Bollinger band on at least 1.5× normal volume, inside an uptrend (20 EMA above 50 EMA). Volume filters out quiet fake-outs; a trailing exit lets real breakouts run. Suits 4h candles.
The rules
Buy when price crosses above the upper Bollinger Band AND volume vs its 20-candle average is above 1.5× AND the 20 EMA is above the 50 EMA.
- Buy with 10% of the balance
- Trailing take profit: arms at +6%, sells after a 2.5% 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.
