Crypto

crypto-trend-v1

ActiveSettings →

Donchian/Turtle trend-follower on daily bars: buys a new 20-day high and exits on a new 10-day low or its ATR stop. No take-profit — the point is to let a winner run. A widening profit-lock trail (per-account switch, on for live-1 and paper-main) arms at +15% and keeps a stop 5% under the peak, widening to 15% from a +30% peak and 25% from +60%; it moves only on the daily close (00:00 UTC), so intraday spikes can't shake a position out.

crypto-revert-v1

ActiveSettings →

Hourly mean-reversion dip-buy and the deliberate complement to the trend strategy: enters when price touches its lower Bollinger band AND RSI(14) is oversold, targets a partial reversion to the mean, with an ATR stop and a 2-day cap. Fires in exactly the range-bound conditions where a breakout never triggers.

crypto-scalp-v1

ActiveSettings →

Fast hourly Donchian breakout: buys a new 20-hour high with a tight +3%/2% profit-lock trail, exits on a new 10-hour low or the stop, 2-day cap. Same momentum idea as the trend strategy but quick — it exists to turn over fast and build a sample.

crypto-tape-v1

Order-book mean-reversion scalp, and the only strategy here that reads live depth. On a sharp flush it checks whether real buy orders are resting below, then buys the bounce with its stop under that support.

swing-dip-v1

Not on this accountSettings →

Mechanised dip-buying on quality names: enters when RSI is under ~40 and price is 5–15% below its 50-day average with volume rising, then sells into the bounce via a bracket (fixed take-profit + ATR stop). Multi-day hold, 10-day time-stop.

vwap-mr-v1

ActiveSettings →

Intraday mean-reversion, deep-stretch trial: buys only when price is stretched far below the day's VWAP (5× a 5-minute ATR), between 09:45 and 14:00 ET, skipping days that gapped more than 2%; exits at VWAP, a 1×daily-ATR stop, or the 15:55 flatten. The original shallower rule showed no edge across 12 months of 1-min data; this was the only variant positive in both halves. Paper only.

orb-v1

Not on this accountSettings →

Opening-range breakout: after the first few minutes it buys a break above the opening range confirmed by a volume surge, targets ~2R, and flattens by the close. Half-size while its volume filter is still being tuned.

Opening-range RETEST continuation: rather than buying the naked break, it waits for price to come back and hold the level, then enters — trading confirmation instead of the first move.

qsr

Quality-Swing-Recycle: consumes the yahoo-screener QSR signal rather than recomputing it, then scales in as an anchor leg (fixed take-profit) plus a runner that converts to a trailing stop once well ahead. No calendar time-stop — it holds the swing.

rsi2-v1

ActiveSettings →

Larry Connors' RSI(2) pullback on stocks from the qsr-liquid screener (QSR's quality list, the 50 most liquid by dollar volume; each account can pick a different screener on its settings page): near the close it buys a name that's above its 200-day average but has just had a sharp 2-day dip (RSI(2) under 10), and sells on the first close back above its 5-day average, or after 10 trading days. Wide broker-held disaster stop (3×ATR, max 15%). Backtested 2016–2026 as a lower-drawdown sleeve rather than an index-beater.

wheel-v1

The options wheel: sells a cash-secured put a chosen delta out-of-the-money to collect premium; if assigned the shares, sells covered calls above cost basis; repeats. Delta-based strike selection, closes a leg early at ~50% of max profit. Stocks come from the wheel-candidates screener (affordable, rising, 25–55% volatility); a stock it holds a cycle on stays managed even if it drops off the screen.
