Description
**BTC Multi-Timeframe Momentum Strategy with DCA**This strategy combines **multi-timeframe momentum signals** with a **controlled Dollar Cost Averaging (DCA) entry model** and **ATR-based risk management**. It is designed for volatile markets like Bitcoin where price frequently pulls back before continuing a trend.The system attempts to enter **high-probability pullbacks inside larger trends**, while improving average entry price through structured DCA layers.---### Core ConceptThe strategy aligns signals from three timeframes:• **1-Hour Trend Filter** – Determines the overall market direction using the 200-EMA.• **15-Minute Momentum Filter** – Identifies pullbacks using RSI.• **3-Minute Precision Entry** – Times entries using Stochastic RSI crossovers.Trades are only taken when **momentum, pullback, and higher-timeframe trend align**.---### Entry Logic**Long Conditions**1. Price is above the **1-hour 200 EMA** (bullish trend).2. **15-minute RSI 60**, indicating a rally within a downtrend.3. **3-minute Stoch RSI crosses downward from overbought**.---### DCA Entry ModelInstead of entering the full position immediately, the strategy scales into trades using **ATR-based DCA layers**.Position structure:• **Initial Entry:** 40% of position• **DCA Layer 1:** 30% at 0.5 ATR against entry• **DCA Layer 2:** 30% at 1.0 ATR against entryThis improves the **average entry price** if the market briefly moves against the trade.Maximum pyramiding is limited to **three entries per position**.---### Risk ManagementRisk is controlled using **Average True Range (ATR)**.• **Stop Loss:** ~1.5 ATR from the average entry• **Partial Take Profit:** 50% of the position at ~1 ATR profit• **Runner Position:** Remaining 50% uses an **ATR trailing stop** to capture larger trendsThis structure allows the strategy to **lock profits early while still benefiting from extended market moves**.---### Position SizingEach trade risks approximately **10% of account equity**, distributed across the base entry and DCA layers.---### Strategy GoalsThis strategy is designed to:• Enter **pullbacks within strong trends**• Improve entries using **controlled DCA scaling**• Capture large crypto trends with **trailing exits**• Reduce false signals using **multi-timeframe confirmation**It performs best in **trending or volatile crypto markets** where short-term pullbacks frequently occur before continuation.
