Buy The Dip - Does It Work?Buying the dip has become a meme in crypto, but does it actually work?
Using this script you can find out.
The dip is defined here as the average true range multiplied by a number of your choosing (dipness input) and subtracted from the low.
When price crosses under the dip level, a long is initiated. The long is then closed using a timestop (default value 20 bars), no fancy exits here.
A general rule for buying the dip should be to be more passive in a bull market and aggressive in a bear market.
Same goes for all counter trend trading.
Heres a few other examples of dip buying statistics using the H4 timeframe:

PorcupineDisplays "spike days" by colouring the bars (Default: yellow for a Spike High and blue for a Spike Low)
Spike Day's definition taken from Jack D Schwager's Book: A Complete Guide to the Futures Market: Technical Analysis, Trading Systems, Fundamental Analysis, Options, Spreads, and Trading Principles
A spike is:
A wide difference between the spike high and the highs of the preceding and succeeding days.
A close near the low of the day's range.
A substantial price advance preceding the spike's formation.
The more extreme each of these conditions, the greater the likelihood that a spike high will prove to be an important relative high or even a major top.
(inverse is true for lows, basically)
Enjoy!
