Custom pyramid strategy
Hi all
I want to share a new approach I have been trying for the past year with great results.
Normally I would try to create a script that would create 100% trades, meaning that each emittet alert would sell 100% or buy 100%. I fell in love with the pyramid strategy because this keeps you in the market as much as possible but I was still missing something. In a standard pyramid strategy you would buy at several levels and then at some stage sell it all. And that works great in most situations but I saw several times that selling all could end up throwing you off the market at an early stage of a bull run. So I created my own custom pyramid strategy where the percentage of both sell and buy orders are based on volume and other indicators.
The percentage is calculated to be exponentially rising if orders of the same kind happens concurrently and then if an alert of an opposit order should emit then percentage of that order is calculated from the position in the major trend + the volume at the certain time.
This enables me to stay in the market and not miss out on major jumps. Granted that I might not have everything in the market at all time but I am never missing an opportunity. So I guess this is a matter of temper/risk at least. :) I prefer not having risked it all at once. How do you prefer to trade?
I have published a script to show the results from my findings (click the image below). This script shows how it works with BTC but it can be fitted to work with most of the major coins. It works best with the major coins because of the volume.
