## Strategy (BTC1h)
|
|
|
|
| Aspect | Detail |
|
|
|--------|--------|
|
|
| **Type** | Trend-following EMA crossover |
|
|
| **Entry** | 4h price > EMA50 + 1h price > EMA200 + 12 EMA crosses above 26 EMA |
|
|
| **Exit** | 12 EMA crosses below 26 EMA, or trailing stop at +1% after +2.5% peak |
|
|
| **Stop** | -2.5% fixed |
|
|
| **Performance** | +1.89 USDT in 157 days (BTC dropped 6.7%). 27 trades, 37% win rate, 0.29% drawdown. Winners avg +2.48%, losers avg -1.24%. |
|
|
|
|
The strategy is asymmetric: it wins big (trailing stop at +2.48% avg on 37% of trades) and loses small (exit signal at -1.24% avg on 63%). It loses on most trades but profits overall.
