AltCoin Index Correlation🧠 AltCoin Index Correlation — Strategy Overview
AltCoin Index Correlation is a dynamic EMA-based trading strategy designed primarily for altcoins, but also adaptable to stocks and indices, thanks to its flexible reference index system.
🧭 Strategy Philosophy
The core idea behind this strategy is simple yet powerful:
Price action becomes more meaningful when it aligns with broader market context.
This script analyzes the correlation between the asset’s trend and a reference index trend, using dual EMA (Exponential Moving Average) crossovers for both.
When both the altcoin and the reference index (e.g. Altcoin Dominance, BTC Dominance, Total Market Cap, or even indices like the NASDAQ 100 or S&P 500) are aligned in trend direction, the script considers it a high-confidence setup.
It also includes:
Optional inverse correlation logic (for contrarian setups)
Custom leverage settings (e.g., 1x, 1.8x, etc.)
A dynamic scale-out mechanism during weakening trends
Date filtering for controlled backtests
A live performance dashboard with equity, PnL, win rate, drawdown, APR, and more
⚙️ Default Settings & Backtest Results
Timeframe tested: 1H
Test date: May 20, 2025
Sample: 100 high-cap altcoins
Reference index: CRYPTOCAP:OTHERS.D (Altcoin Dominance)
Leverage: 1.8x (180% of capital used)
📊 With default settings:
Win rate: ~80%
Higher profits, due to increased exposure
Best suited for confident trend followers with higher risk tolerance
📉 With fixed capital or 1x leverage:
Win rate improves to ~90%
Lower returns, but greater capital preservation
Ideal for conservative or risk-managed trading styles
🔄 Versatility
While tailored for altcoins, this strategy supports traditional markets as well:
Easily switch the reference index to OANDA:NAS100USD or S&P 500 for stock correlation trading
Adjust EMA lengths and leverage to match the asset class and volatility profile
🧩 Suggested Use
Best used on trending markets (not sideways)
Ideal for 1H timeframes, but adjustable
Suitable for traders who want a rules-based, macro-aware entry/exit system

How to automate this strategy for free... Version 2Hello fellow traders and automation lovers.
It has been about 2 years since we originally created Autoview to connect your exchanges/brokers with your TradingView alerts. We've since added multiple exchanges, parameters and have built a large community filled with awesome, passionate traders.
One of the first strategies we built was sadly not a viable one for trading due to it using built-in variables that resulted in the backtest results being inaccurate in comparison to placing live trades. Luckily, we did not encounter repainting until a few strategies in, however, there was a point where we published a few of them as well. We will be going through all of our scripts again to not only eliminate any repainting and update to version 3, but to also include all the code snippets that we've learned to use over the years that allow for accurate backtesting and live trading.
The first script we are redoing is our How to automate this strategy for free using a chrome extension. .
Easter egg: This includes a new snippet of code that makes controlling how many orders you pyramid within a study fast and easy.
We look forward to bringing all of our scripts and delving deep into Pine again :)
Happy Trading
Autoview
