Bitcoin Pivot Reversal Entries from Confirmed Swing Highs and Lows

Summary

This strategy applies pivot points to hourly XBTUSD, using four bars on each side by default to identify swing highs and lows. After a swing high is confirmed, it places a stop entry just above that price; after a swing low, it places a stop entry just below. The setup can therefore enter long or short when price breaks beyond a recent pivot level.

The document reports a historical result of 350% performance, 10% drawdown, and a 1.16 Sharpe ratio for the described configuration. These figures are the author’s reported backtest results, not independent evidence of future performance. The page provides no detailed test period, transaction cost assumptions, or robustness analysis, and it explicitly cautions that past performance does not guarantee future results.

Key ideas

• The strategy identifies swing highs and lows using configurable bars on the left and right.
• A confirmed swing high sets a stop entry just above the pivot for a long position.
• A confirmed swing low sets a stop entry just below the pivot for a short position.
• The author reports historical performance statistics, but the document gives limited detail about the backtest assumptions.
