Trading Assignment: Find an idea

I would try the following idea:
Combination of 21 MA, 21 EMA and MACD on the 4hour chart of ETHUSD
When ever the 21 EMA crosses above the 21 MA and the MACD is or has recently been negative open up a long position. 10% and more price increase have been following.
Exit the trade latest if the 21MA crosses above the 21 EMA.
The short side of the idea does not look as clear but would add it as an option for testing.

everyone else has all these complex ideas, mine feels so simple by comparison but here goes:

USDC/USDT always has these little micro fluctuations and I’m wondering if that’s something that could be exploited?

I would say you should combine some indicators.

  1. Look on the Market.
  2. Look at the MarketCab to Thermocab Ratio.
  3. Look on the news. What they are telling.

Make your decision.

All very new to this but after some reading I have chosen to explore the following:

I have chosen to use 3 indicators to get more accurate signals…

RSI + SMA + MACD

Buy Signal:

  • RSI <= some chosen threshold (default 30)
  • Price crosses over SMA from below
  • MACD rises above the signal line

Sell Signal

  • RSI >= below some chosen threshold (default 70)
  • Price crosses over SMA from above
  • MACD crosses below the signal line

Let’s see how this works, any suggestions/advice please let me know :slight_smile:

Thanks,
Adrian

A really simple idea can be to use the RSI to buy when the market is underbought and sell when it reaches the range again.

We could do the same shorting when overbought but I find it more risky.

We are in a bull market at the moment, so you can not really predict how much up exactly it will go, but going in with a strategy will save me from greed.

I mostly use D and 4H 2H TF, to evaluate my next move. I take a look at the RSI, MACD and BSI Indicator.

With the RSI, whenever my indicator is just below 50 it is a good sign to buy along being in good communication with MACD, as we want the trend to be just above the 0, it is not the fastest signal so that’s why its good to combine with BSI as well, most of the times when the chart goes under the EMA 50, BSI also gives a quick indication if we are about to go to a bearish, or we are still bullish, I will then wait for 5-10 % dip to make a new position again, and after we go above the EMA 50 again depending on where in the market we are will evaluate a exit strategy. By seeing at the chart i might need to make a flag, triangle, or any other trend line which might give me an answer what it might be following, and still its probability but my strategy is clear and my emotions are out of my way.

Using BSI indicator it would be rather easy:
Open a long position when:
short term trend indicator turns bullish
Sell when:
short term trend indicator turns bearish

Alternatively:
buy when RSI is crosses up (or down) over 30
sell when RSI crosses up over 70

Simple ideas…
Avax hit a high of $60.43 several weeks ago. Stocks usually return to their high at some point, and that would be a good time to sell at least some of my position.

Another thing I notice is that BTC is making an upward triangle, so I believe it will be going up for a while, then dipping down again. My strategy will be to buy on that next dip.

I am looking day chart BTC/USD pair and thinking about emotions and people swinging from buy to sell. Then i think of the moon cycles and how they affect our emotions. I checked the moon phases and noticed that we do trade more when we go from new moon to full moon. I will definitely do some research in that direction and maybe use it in trading.

I think a potential idea right now could be to buy after 10% or greater dips, then sell and short after 10% or more gains.

Idea = Buy during this current dip + Significant Development: BAND Protocol partners with Fantom
Instrument = Coinbase Pro (USD) or Binance (USDT)
Data = Trading View, BAND is down about 60% from former Major Resistance at $20 during this dip price is now $12.61. Slowly trending up on 1H, 4H, 1D maybe news about Fantom partnership can pump it
Model and Rules = Trading Volume up? Social Activity up?
Backtest =
Promising = if Bitcoin ranges or does not go down. otherwise, tight Stop Loss under $12

This is a trade idea i recently had for XRP/USDT
I believe it will go from 45c-63c within the next 20 days.
I used the fibonacci extension tool to find TP1 and TP2 targets which rested in the 0.618 and 1 fib values.
A buy order can perhaps be placed at 0.455 as it hugs the bottom of the ascending triangle

I see a repeating pattern where I can long a position and exit before it comes back down. I also noticed a head and shoulder pattern which can be a nice setup to long if it doesn’t continue downward. The overall pattern is tightening and showing a bullish trend upwards. A good entry point would be at $49,500 and exit at $57,500.

VET is my project of choice. it has yet to hit a major pump. it keeps hitting a resistance but it is due for it to break out. it builds higher support everytime.

ADAUSDT looks like consolidating, and considering that in recent days market overall growth it is growing slower than other coins, it might break out:

We are looking for support we can trade off, finding good (small cap alt-coins ).That are being traded by amateurs, or should I say " Not Institutions, or big players," smaller caps, like Ivan’s secret alt-coins, wait till there is a bull run, (moving that coin,) after a panic sell, then look to trade off support…
Do Not look to trade too often, there is 365 days in a year,treat it has a business…Choose your battles carefully, with lots of " Risk-Management ", accumulate good businesses very young, and earn off their meteoric rise… & Be Happy & Grate-full to be Alive…

Use EMA 50 and 200.
When 50 crosses 200 upwards, time to buy. The opposite, time to reassess.
Not sure about this…
