Strategy 1
Trend pullback on Bitcoin with partial profit booking. Fewer, cleaner trades.
BTCUSD perpetual · Delta Exchange India · 30-minute candles
How it trades
Waits for a fresh trend, enters on the first pullback, and books part of the profit early so the rest can run to a 1:4 target. A stop-loss sits on Delta on every trade. Trades both directions, 24 hours, with three quiet half-hour slots left out.
- Risk : reward 1 : 4
- Partial profit booking on every winner
- Stop-loss and target placed on Delta with the entry
- About 5–8 trades a month
Know the weak spots
- Profit comes from a few large winners — 6 losses in a row happened in the test; judge it over a quarter, not a week.
- Sideways months are the losing months.
- Short trades earn less than long trades; both are kept because together the curve is smoother.
