Scalping Dips On Trend (by Coinrule)Coinrule's Community is an excellent source of inspiration for our trading strategies.
In these months of Bull Market, our traders opted mostly on buy-the-dips strategies, which resulted in great returns recently. But there has been an element that turned out to be the cause for deep division among the Community.
Is it advisable or not to use a stop-loss during a Bull Market?
This strategy comes with a large stop-loss to offer a safer alternative for those that are not used to trade with a downside protection.
Entry
The strategy buys only when the price is above the Moving Average 50 , making it less risky to buy the dip, which is set to 2%.
The preferred time frame is 1-hour.
The stop-loss is set to be quite loose to increase the chances of closing the trade in profit, yet protecting from unexpected larger drawdowns that could undermine the allocation's liquidity.
Exit
Stop loss: 10%
Take Profit: 3%
In times of Bull Market, such a trading system has a very high percentage of trades closed in profit (ranging between 70% to 80%), which makes it still overall profitable to have a stop-loss three times larger than the take profit.
Pro tip: use a larger stop-loss only when you expect to close in profit most of the trades!
The strategy assumes each order to trade 30% of the available capital and opens a trade at a time. A trading fee of 0.1% is taken into account.

Buy The Dips in Bull Market (by Coinrule)During a Bull market, beating the market, it's challenging. Trading strategies that buy the dips represent one of the best approaches to surf the trend and optimize the returns.
The main obstacle is to gauge the dip's magnitude properly and set up the take profit level accordingly. The RSI is an excellent tool to catch price drops as it adjusts the entry to the asset's current volatility. Nevertheless, using the RSI as an indicator for exit is not an optimal solution in trending markets as it may end up with two scenarios:
The price reverts before reaching overbought conditions. That is the case when the trend is not that strong at that moment. Leaving the position open could result in missed profit opportunities.
The price rebounds strongly, leading the RSI quickly in overbought conditions too soon so that the strategy sells too early.
One interesting option is to combine a trigger based on the RSI to catch the dip and then use two moving averages to spot the right time to seel when the price is entirely back on-trend.
The Setup
The entry-signal comes when the RSI is lower than 35 and the MA9 is above the MA200, indicating that the asset is currently in an uptrend.
The sell-signal comes when at the same time, the price is above the MA9, and the MA9 is above the MA50.
This setup was optimized on the 15-min time frame after over 150 backtests.
A trading fee of 0.1% is taken into account. The fee is aligned to the base fee applied on Binance, which is the largest cryptocurrency exchange.
