BTCUSD 15M DAY TRADING CRYPTOCURRENCY TRADING STRATEGY
Step #1: Apply the Money Flow Index Indicator on the 5-minute Chart
This specific day trading strategy uses one simple technical indicator, namely the Money Flow Index. We use this indicator to track the activity of the smart money and to gauge when the institutions are buying and selling cryptocurrencies.
The preferred settings for the MFI indicator is 3 periods.
We’re also going to alter the default buying and selling levels from 80 to 100 and respectively from 20 to 0.
Step #2: Wait for the Money Flow Index to reach the 100 level
An MFI reading of 100 shows the presence of the big sharks stepping into the markets. When buying, smart money can’t hide their footsteps. They inevitably leave tracks of their activity in the market and we can read that activity through the MFI indicator.
Technical indicators aren’t always right, so in order to fine-tune our day trading strategy we’ve added a few more conditions. Namely, during the current day, we need to skip the first two MFI readings of 100 and study the crypto price reaction.
The price needs to hold up during the first and second 100 MFI reading.
If the price drops after the first two MFI 100 readings, then this suggests that most likely we’re going to have a down day.
Step #3: Buy if MFI = 100 and if the subsequent candle is bullish
We can now wait for the third MFI reading above 100. It doesn’t necessarily have to be the third MFI = 100 reading, you can take every other MFI = 100 readings. If your time doesn’t allow you to catch the third 100 reading on the MFI indicator, you can simply pick the next one as long as all the other technical conditions are satisfied.
Next, we also need the candlestick when we got the MFI = 100 reading to be a bullish candle. The close of this candle needs to be near the upper end, giving us a candle with very small wicks.
Step #4: Hide your protective Stop Loss below the low of the day.
The obvious place to hide your protective stop loss is below the low of the day. A break below it will signal a shift in the market sentiment, and it’s best to get out of the trade. This can also signal a reversal day.
Step #5: You pick TP strategy or use 5m chart to use this trading strategy and Take Profit during the first 60 minutes after you opened the trade. We’re more flexible when it comes to our exit strategy. However, the only rule you need to abide by being to take profits during the first 60 minutes or the first hour after your trade got triggered. Holding the trade longer than one hour will result in a lower success rate. At least that’s what our backtested results showed us.
Just reverse for short trade.
