Description

ETH Momentum Breakout StrategyA volatility-squeeze momentum breakout strategy designed for major crypto tokens (ETH, BTC, SOL, etc.) on 1H to 8H timeframes. Detects compressed volatility, waits for explosive directional breakouts confirmed by volume and momentum, then rides the trend with adaptive risk management.Core philosophy: take fewer, higher-conviction trades and let them ride. Averages ~12 trades/year on 2H with 65% win rate and 2.4:1 win/loss ratio.═══════════════════════════════════════HOW IT WORKS — ENTRY═══════════════════════════════════════A trade triggers when ALL conditions align:1. VOLATILITY SQUEEZE (TMM Squeeze)Bollinger Bands (20-period, 2.0x StdDev) compress inside Keltner Channels (20-period, 1.5x ATR). Squeeze must last at least 3 bars. Breakout must occur within 6 bars of squeeze release.2. BREAKOUT CONFIRMATIONPrice breaks above upper BB + 0.3x ATR margin (longs) or below lower BB - margin (shorts). Candle body must be ≥40% of range — ensures conviction, not just a wick.3. MOMENTUM CONFIRMATIONLinear regression of price deviation from 12-period SMA must be positive and accelerating (longs). Confirms the breakout has directional force.4. VOLUME SPIKEVolume must exceed 1.8x its 20-period SMA. Ensures real institutional money is behind the move.5. RSI EXTREME FILTERRSI(14) must be below 75 for longs, above 25 for shorts. Prevents entries at overbought/oversold extremes.6. REGIME FILTER (Daily) • EMA Distance: Price within 35% of 200-EMA on daily. Blocks parabolic tops and capitulation crashes. • Volatility Regime: ATR between 0.3x and 1.5x the 100-period average. Blocks dead markets and panics.7. COOLDOWN12-bar wait after each exit. Prevents revenge trading.═══════════════════════════════════════ADAPTIVE REGIME (ML-Lite Decision Tree)═══════════════════════════════════════At entry, the market is classified into HOT / NORMAL / COLD and locked for the trade's duration:HOT (Vol Rank >60th pctl AND Trend Score >1.5 ATR): → TP, SL, Trail scaled by 1.35x (wider targets) → Stagnation timeout: 15 bars, 0.3 ATR thresholdNORMAL (everything else): → Default parameters → Stagnation timeout: 10 barsCOLD (Vol Rank <30th pctl OR Trend Score <0.5 ATR): → TP, SL, Trail scaled by 0.75x (tighter targets) → Stagnation timeout: 7 barsSame entry signal gets aggressive management in trends, defensive in chop.═══════════════════════════════════════HOW IT WORKS — EXIT═══════════════════════════════════════Five independent exit mechanisms:1. TAKE PROFIT (TP2)Full position exits at 3.5x ATR (scaled by regime: 4.7 in hot, 2.6 in cold).2. ATR TRAILING STOP2.5x ATR trailing stop (scaled by regime). Only ratchets in favorable direction.3. BREAKEVEN STOPAfter 1.2x ATR favorable move, stop moves to entry + 0.2 ATR. Trade becomes risk-free.4. STAGNATION EXITIf trade hasn't moved 0.5x ATR after regime-dependent bars (hot:15, normal:10, cold:7), it's cut. These trades have 8% win rate — they rarely recover.5. TIMEOUT100 bars max (~8 days on 2H). Safety net for stuck trades.═══════════════════════════════════════OPTIONAL MODULES (off by default)═══════════════════════════════════════ • Partial Take-Profit: Exit portion at TP1 (1.5x ATR), let rest ride. Reduces variance but caps big winners. • Runner Mode: After partial TP, removes TP2 ceiling — rides trail indefinitely. Requires Partial TP on. • HTF Trend Filter: Requires price above/below higher-TF EMA with slope. Additional trend confirmation. • Crypto Fundamentals: Filters via IntoTheBlock on-chain data (active addresses, large tx count, sentiment). • Session Filter: Restrict trading to specific hours.═══════════════════════════════════════SUGGESTED SETTINGS═══════════════════════════════════════TARGET: 1H to 8H timeframes, major tokens (ETH, BTC, SOL, AVAX, LINK, etc.)▸ 2H (Recommended — Best Tested) Direction: Long Only Commission: 0.1% BB/KC Length: 20/20, KC Mult: 1.5 Min Squeeze Duration: 3 bars (6h) Volume Spike: 1.8x Stop Loss: 2.0x ATR TP2: 3.5x ATR Trail: 2.5x ATR BE Threshold: 1.2x ATR Cooldown: 12 bars (24h) Stagnation: 10 bars (20h) Max Vol Ratio: 1.5x Adaptive Regime: ON Partial TP: OFF▸ 1H (Faster, more trades) Min Squeeze Duration: 5-6 bars Cooldown: 20-24 bars Stagnation: 18-20 bars Max Bars In Trade: 200 Vol Spike: 2.0x▸ 4H (Slower, higher conviction) Min Squeeze Duration: 2 bars Cooldown: 6 bars Stagnation: 5-6 bars Max Bars: 50 Stop Loss: 1.8x ATR▸ 8H (Swing trading) Min Squeeze Duration: 2 bars Cooldown: 3 bars Stagnation: 3 bars Max Bars: 25 TP2: 4.0-4.5x ATR Trail: 3.0x ATR═══════════════════════════════════════APPLYING TO OTHER TOKENS═══════════════════════════════════════ • Change symbol to Bybit perpetual (BYBIT:BTCUSDT.P, BYBIT:SOLUSDT.P) • Update IntoTheBlock tickers if using fundamentals (INTOTHEBLOCK:BTC_ACTIVEADDRESSES) • Smaller-cap tokens: higher Vol Spike (2.0-2.5x), tighter Max Vol Ratio (1.2-1.3x) • BTC: same parameters work well • SOL and others: consider wider SL (2.5x ATR) for higher intraday volatility═══════════════════════════════════════PERFORMANCE (2H ETH, Oct 2020–Feb 2026)═══════════════════════════════════════ Net Profit: ~$29,700 on $10,000 (197%) CAGR: ~29% Profit Factor: 3.08 Win Rate: 56% (wins 2.4x larger than losses) Max Drawdown: ~$4,200 (14% of peak) Return / Max DD: 7.1x ~12 trades/year Profitable 6 of 7 years (only 2022 bear negative)
