ETH breakout, full size High risk
Crypto · ETH/USDT · 1 day · Breakout · version 1
An aggressive setup: about 70 % of the capital is in the position, a trade risks 5 % and has no fixed target, so the profit from a trend runs until the trend turns. In the historical test it earned much more than the conservative templates, but with drawdowns of around 30 % – the agent's value may temporarily fall by a third or more.
Rules of the agent
- The agent decides after every closed bar (1 day) of ETH/USDT.
- It buys when the price closes above the high of the last 80 bars and closes when it closes below the low of the last 5 bars.
- The position is sized so that the 7.0 % stop loss costs 5.0 % of the agent's capital (a position is at most 100 % of the capital).
- It has no fixed profit target – it closes on the signal or the stop loss.
- After a 15.0 % loss in a day it pauses until the next day; after a 50.0 % fall from its peak it stops until you start it again.
The agent trades by these rules only. The smallest sum is 100 USDT; below it positions would be under the exchange minimum.
