DOT Short DCA Strategy Using RSI Reversal Signals

Summary

This document outlines a short-only dollar-cost averaging strategy for DOT perpetual futures. It starts a short when a nine-period RSI on a three-minute timeframe crosses down through 80, treating the move as a possible exhaustion of overbought momentum. If price rises after entry, the strategy can add up to three averaging orders at fixed percentage deviations above the base entry. The shown defaults space those additions at 1%, 2%, and 3%, with uniform order sizing.

The position targets a 1.3% profit from its average entry, with a 0.3% trailing retracement to trigger an exit after the target arms; a hard stop is set 8% above the average entry. The script includes configurable order sizing, order type, dates, and webhook fields. Its header identifies BYBIT DOTUSDT perpetuals as the calibration market, but the provided text contains no backtest results or evidence of profitability. Averaging into a rising market increases exposure, and the excerpt does not establish how the rules perform across market regimes or fees and execution conditions.
