Bitcoin Scalping with T3 Crossovers and a Volume Filter

Summary

This Bitcoin scalping strategy uses a T3 moving average, calculated from a cascade of six exponential averages, as a smoothed price reference. It opens a long position when closing price crosses above the T3 line and a short position when price crosses below it. An optional volume filter requires current volume to exceed its simple moving average, with a configurable averaging length, before either crossover can trigger an entry.

The strategy specifies percentage-based take-profit and stop-loss inputs and includes commission and slippage assumptions for backtesting. The document presents the volume condition as a way to avoid weak or noisy moves, but provides no test results, market, timeframe, or evidence that the filter improves outcomes. Its exit calculations are expressed using the current close and tick size, so their realized behavior should be checked in the intended platform and instrument. Performance will depend on bar interval, fees, liquidity, and the responsiveness settings chosen for the T3 and volume average.

Key ideas

• The T3 line is constructed from six sequential exponential moving averages.
• A close crossing above or below T3 triggers a long or short entry.
• An optional filter requires volume to exceed its simple moving average.
• The strategy includes percentage take-profit and stop-loss settings along with trading costs.
• No backtest results or evidence for the claimed benefit of volume confirmation are provided.
