[NG] Strategy: CryptoMine - v1 - Low Drawdown - Beats Buy&Hold!

21 thg 3, 2018

So, I created this strategy that works on BTCUSD 0.28% pair along with almost all ALT-BTC pairs, and ALT-USD pairs (i.e. the cryptosphere). Here are some of the considerations I had when creating this script:

- Should work on BTCUSD 0.28% , along with most ALT-BTC and ALT-USD pairs without modifying strategy parameters for individual pairs.
- Should work with several timeframes, esp -0.67% . 15m-4hr timeframes. Better if the parameters are adjusted for these timeframes, automatically.
- Should have a small MaxDrawdown. Arguably <50% for cryptos.
- Should beat buy and hold profits for the pair.
- Should have multiple modes for switching between: Higher Returns vs Lower Drawdowns, multiple Long/Short versions - one which allows me to do margin trading by using the short calls (so, LONG, SHORT and FLAT), and another one where I can use the short calls by exiting out of the market and entering when the short call ends (so, LONG and SHORT only).
- Should have proper risk management built-in. Moreover, TakeProfit and StopLoss will be defined at a fixed 20% each, which is reasonable for crypto markets. Most strategies I see on tradingview fail on this count.


After several weeks of building such a script, and testing it successfully on multiple pairs - here are the results. :)
