BCH Short Strategy Using RSI Rollover and DCA Averaging Orders
Summary
This short-only BCHUSDT perpetual strategy opens when a 9-period RSI sampled from the 5-minute timeframe crosses downward through 80. It is intended to run on a 15-minute chart. If price rises above the initial short entry, the strategy can add up to three averaging orders at successive 1%, 2%, and 3% deviations, using uniform order sizing. The position's take-profit is set 1.3% below its average entry and uses a 0.3% trailing retracement; a hard stop is set 8% above average entry. The script includes settings for order size, date limits, and a DCA bot webhook.
The source labels its defaults as calibrated for BYBIT BCHUSDT perpetuals, but the excerpt supplies no performance results or backtest evidence to assess that claim. Averaging into a short increases exposure as price rises, while the wide hard stop and trailing exit shape the loss and profit profile. The rules and settings are specific to the named market and timeframe; they do not establish that the approach generalizes. Trading costs and execution assumptions also matter when evaluating the frequent, staged orders.
