Periodic Crypto Buying with Candle-Count Exits

Summary

The Simple Holder strategy repeatedly buys a cryptocurrency with quote currency, beginning with an initial purchase and adding to the position at intervals. Its parameters include a candle-count limit and start and end times. Alerts can start a bot deal, add funds, cancel a deal, or stop the bot. The document describes this as a way to average purchase costs and build a holding over time.

The published backtest settings specify BTC/USDT futures on Binance over a stated date range, but the document provides no performance results. Its source logic and prose do not fully align: the prose describes exiting after a candle limit or at an end time, while the code uses a counter and alert branches, with a time condition that is always true. The strategy also lacks a stated price-based risk control. Crypto price swings, poor exit timing, and insufficient capital management are identified as risks; suggested changes include adapting purchase intervals and amounts, adding a stop, and using other market factors.

Key ideas

• The strategy makes an initial crypto purchase and adds to the position at recurring candle intervals.
• Quote currency is used to buy more base currency as the position grows.
• Bot alerts support starting a deal, adding funds, canceling a deal, and stopping the bot.
• The document identifies volatility, exit timing, and capital management as risks.
• The stated backtest settings do not include reported performance results.
