How the Indicator Works
1. Selection of Top 20 ALTCOINs:
- Cryptocurrencies are selected based on their market capitalization at each rebalancing period.
2. Weight Allocation and Calculation:
- Weight: Determined by the market capitalization of each ALTCOIN relative to the total market capitalization of the top 20.
- Token Quantity: Calculated based on weight, total allocation points (e.g., 100 points for T1, 722.63 points for T2, etc.), and each ALTCOIN's closing price.
Formula: Token Quantity = Weight × Total Allocation Points/Closing Price
3. Periodic Rebalancing:
- Rebalancing frequency: Once a year.
- At each rebalancing period, the weights and token quantities are adjusted based on new market capitalization and prices.
4. Portfolio Value Calculation:
- The value of each ALTCOIN is calculated as:
Token Value = Closing Price × Token Quantity
- Index Total:
ALT20 Index ='20'∑'i=1' Token Value'i'
