ETHUSD LONG - Apr 24 (⛈️ Trapping Lighting v1)

This strategy focuses on assets that are overall bullish either because of fundamentals or sentiment. They should be relatively simple chart behaviours with volatility dips that could be due to profit taking after hitting key levels or events.

As long as the event or news does not change the bullish sentiment or fundamentals.

I backtested a variant of this strategy on Tradingview by creating a strategy script with the help of ChatGPT. I then scripted the indicator with ChatGPT. ChatGPT FTW!

Timeframe Oct 23 - March 24, because the market situation is somewhat similar to current
Both ETHUSD and BTCUSD had slight tweaks based on the number of previous red candles before it indicated a potential condition.
On the auto back test, I entered every trade if certain conditions were met and price crossed the 24 candle low.

Performance of the backtest

For live trading, I will only enter a trade if price is close/crosses a key price point which I will plot on the daily charts.

Comment:

For this trade I will be implementing the following rules to de-risk and then scale up.
- Move price to breakeven once there is break confirmation of a key resistance line
- Increase position when you break the next key resistance line and it becomes a support

Trade closed: stop reached:

This trade didn't go well even though I mostly stuck to my plan. It got messed up by a big sudden move at 10AM SGT that I couldn't predict.

I will label this as a bad trade as I should have followed by de-risk rules and moved to SL to break even, when price was at a new support level between 4-9am (6 Candles)...
