Intermediate · Momentum
Momentum Continuation
Joins a confirmed uptrend (RSI > 55, EMA9 > EMA20, price above EMA20) with volume backing. Designed to ride moves, not catch tops.
The rules
Buy when RSI (14) is above 55 AND the 9 EMA is above the 20 EMA AND price is above the 20 EMA AND volume vs its 20-candle average is above 1.5×.
- Buy with 10% of the balance
- Trailing take profit: arms at +6%, sells after a 1% pullback from the high
- Stop loss at −2.5%
Safety limits: max 3 trades a day · max 25% of the balance in a trade · pauses for the day after a 5% 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.
