T3MA Crossover Strategy w/ Alerts v2.0
Summary:
Using the T3MA formula developed by Tim Tillson, this differs from traditional SMA and EMA by providing a smoother curve and less lag. The smoothness is derived from the weighted sum of a single EMA through EMA 6 times.
How it works:
- Like any other crossover strategy.
- When fast MA crosses OVER the slow MA, go long.
- Close long and/or go short when the fast MA crosses UNDER the slow MA.
- Can keep flipping between long and short signals.
Quite a conservative strategy as it uses lagging indicators, not for intraday trading (you can, but I don't). Comes into it's own in trending markets as long as you stick to the signals.
Alert messages:
- Long
- Short
How I use it:
- My defaults are set at 2 fast MA and 5 slow MA to ride trends as close as possible.
- On BTCUSD and other altUSD pairs, I tend to use a daily time frame.
- On altBTC pairs, I tend to use a 12H time frame.
- Action on candle close at momentum confirmation (have seen numerous examples of a signal reversing mid candle into a dump).
Will need to be able to short altcoins to make the most of it, or it will at least keep you out of sustained downtrends (=/= holding).
Backtest it on bitcoin and other large cap alts on high time frames to see for yourself. For lazy trading, can set up alerts with AutoView.
