Trading ADA with crypto total volume - +2061% returns in a year
Using the total crypto market cap as a trading indicator is an overlooked method. Traders get stuck on chasing complex new indicators when all they need is in front of their eyes. If you could be buying when the total crypto market volume rises and sell when it goes down it might be all you need. This strategy proves that you can comfortably beat ADA's holding at 1480.1% with +2061.1% in a year. And it's very easy to run and automate.
WILL POST ALL POSITIONS, OPEN/CLOSE PRICES/TIMES BELOW
The strategy goals:
1. Use Crypto Total Volume as the main indicator
2. Beat holding ADA over the past year
3. No additional indicators only price movements
The strategy:
The strategy that was the most successful consists of only 3 lines. Simplicity works as it reflects what is actually happening in the market. In our case this is the full strategy:
On the 1 hour time-frame:
1. We will open a position when Crypto Total Volume is up by 4% in last day
2. We will close the position when Crypto Total Volume is down by 4% in last day and Price is up by 3% in last 3 days
No stop loss or take profit we respect the strategy rules 100% of the time.
The results:
The strategy beat holding ADA convincingly by bringing in +2061.1% through the year. It did so by winning 64.1% of all trades with a an average of 11% per win to -5.76% when losing. You can expect to hold a position for an average of 3.5 days.
A strong aspect of the strategy is that it has above 5 positions per month, a total of 64 for the year. This exposes you to less fees than high-frequency ones.
Note that despite the fact that the strategy is executed on the 1h timeframe Crypto Total Volume is calculated daily so positions will be opened at midnight UTC, while the close is monitored on the hourly.
Further optimisations:
The winning positions were held on average for shorter than a losing ones, so seeing how you can shorten holding time for losing positions may improve results.
The strategy does beat the market on drawdown as well with 33%. However it is something you may seek to shrink further.
