In this article, the author develops a trading system based on the Average True Range (ATR), a volatility indicator, specifically applied to Bitcoin (BTC). The strategy involves entering the market with a stop order at a certain price level, with the expectation that the upward movement will continue. The ATR is used to calculate the entry level, which is determined by the closing price of the last daily bar plus a certain amount based on the ATR of the last 5 days. The strategy has shown encouraging results when applied to Bitcoin, with a steadily rising equity line. The period and factor used to calculate the ATR, as well as the stop loss value, can be adjusted to optimize the strategy. The author suggests further testing the strategy on other cryptocurrencies, such as Ethereum and Solana, and optimizing the parameters for each. Overall, the intraday trend following strategy tested on Bitcoin is simple and can be applied to multiple cryptocurrencies with adjustments and optimizations.
