A coin basket with a market filter: in crypto only while the market rises
Hold a basket of large coins in equal parts while the crypto market as a whole is rising, and sit in cash when it is not.
The rule
Build an index from the largest coins. While it is above its own 100-day average, hold the basket. When it falls below, sell everything.
Why people use it
Coins fall together. In a crypto bear market almost nothing holds up, so one switch for the whole basket does the job of many separate signals and trades less.
Where it hurts
It is all or nothing: one late signal affects the whole account. A basket of altcoins can keep sinking against bitcoin even while the market filter says the market is rising.
How our bot runs it
One bot holds bitcoin and the four largest altcoins at 20% each; another holds the ten largest altcoins at 10% each. The market signal is an index of the ten largest coins of the group against its 100-day average, checked weekly. Size is measured by trading volume.
