Triple screen (one chart)

Trade with the tide, enter on the wave: take longs only above the 100-period average, timed by a stochastic turning up from oversold. Over the last 365 days of Bitcoin, Ethereum and Solana prices, the backtest found 269 signals. 25% reached the target, the average score was −0.037 units, and skill was −0.79: it stayed inside the luck zone, better than 23% of coin flips on the same entries. That ranks it 4 of 5 in the strategy library. Live, it has no resolved calls yet: it calls when its setup appears. It made no resolved calls this week.

The idea

Trade with the tide, enter on the wave: take longs only above the 100-period average, timed by a stochastic turning up from oversold.

LONG when close above EMA 100 + Stochastic 14 crosses up below 20; SHORT when close below EMA 100 + Stochastic 14 crosses down above 80. 1h chart, 12-hour calls, target 1 / stop 1 units.
