BITSTAMP:BTCUSD   Bitcoin
BTC price chart analysis on the Weekly time frame 2018-current. (Heikin-Ashi candles, wicks removed, LOG setting).

My aggressive 13/48 SMA strategy compared to my 13/48 SMA cross strategy:

-When the candles break the 13 SMA to the upside or downside, it is a notable occurrence, indicating possible a trend change
-My long decision occurs when 13 SMA turns up, and the green candles are over top
-My short decision occurs when the 13 SMA turns down and the red candles are underneath

IMPORTANT
-I can use the 20 week also which tends to smooth candle wicks vs 13 SMA
-Log setting allows me follow a smoother trend
-Sometimes I first long or short with 50% of my position and then add the other 50% after both 13/48 SMA turned up or down, the candles above or below both
-Generally I require more trades using the aggressive strategy vs. Cross strategy

I could also add other indicators such as custom buy sell signals and or MACD , Stochastic , RSI , SAR to assist my decision making but the simple trend based method more than provides me with relatively "low risk" gains.
