Trading insights, strategy breakdowns, and engineering deep dives.
Mean reversion works beautifully in forex and equities. In crypto, it's a slow bleed. We built the best version we could and it was still negative on every pair.
Wide stops give room but risk large losses. Tight stops protect capital but get stopped out on noise. We built a system that uses both at the right time.
Most breakout strategies enter too late and exit too early. Ours confirms the breakout with a volatility squeeze, validates with volume, and rides the trend with a two-phase stop.
No neural networks. No exotic indicators. A 9/21 SMA cross with a 200-period trend filter beat every complex strategy we tested across all four major pairs.
Trend-following in a range bleeds money. Mean reversion in a trend gets steamrolled. The fix: detect the regime first, then deploy the right strategy.
ADX 20-25 is a dead zone where trend-following and mean reversion both fail. Volume Breakout captures the explosive moves that happen right before a new trend begins.
Grid bots were the darling of the 2021 bull run. But the math never worked long-term. We ran the numbers, killed our own grid bot, and built something better.
Before you trade real money, you need to know if your strategy actually works. Here's how to run your first backtest on myRaijin — in under 2 minutes.
DCA bots are marketed as 'set and forget' money machines. In reality, they have a fatal flaw that costs traders thousands during downtrends.
Regular DCA loses money when prices fall for months. Smart DCA detects the trend and goes short in bear markets, turning drawdowns into profit.
