This is my first complete, profitable trading strategy. Please note that this is a short term trend following strategy so it works well in trending markets but can get whip sawed when consolidation occurs. 60% drawdown isn't actually too bad and is the result of a flash crash.
Using the RSI2 for entry and Vstop for exits, this strategy revolves around the momentum that is built up by bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies which tend to explode and form trends. This strategy should be able to be applied to every cryptocurrency.
Currently displayed on the 5H chart which was the best for gains both long and short, however also produced good gains on the 6H chart.
I plan on using some fundamental analysis and make note of future news events (partnerships, announcements etc) on good cryptocurrencies for entry and exits. However as bitcoin is currently bearish it may be difficult to use for the coming weeks / months.
Hope you all enjoy :)
