Volatility Compression Sniper

Targets end-of-squeeze setups: Bollinger width below 2% with institutional volume and RSI in the neutral zone (40-65).

The rules

Buy when Bollinger Band width is below 2% AND volume vs its 20-candle average is above 1.5× AND RSI (14) is above 40 AND RSI (14) is below 65.

  • Buy with 12% of the balance
  • Trailing take profit: arms at +7%, sells after a 1% pullback from the high
  • Stop loss at −3%

Safety limits: max 3 trades a day · max 30% of the balance in a trade · pauses for the day after a 6% 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.
