This strategy (available on Zignaly) revolves around squeeze momentum in the BTC market. By integrating a bespoke squeeze momentum indicator with a trend-following approach, we’ve developed a fully automated system tailored exclusively for Bitcoin trading. Operating on 4-hour timeframes, our strategy uses long-only positions.

To mitigate risk, we implement position sizing. Historically, risk exposure has been capped at approximately 20%. However, it’s crucial to exercise caution as the maximum drawdown could extend up to 40%. Over the course of nearly a year of live trading, our strategy has consistently delivered stable performance.

For those seeking explosive 100x returns, this strategy is not for you. Instead, our focus is on achieving consistent gains while minimizing risk. You can review the backtesting results for further insight:
