Visual Strategy Building and Threshold Rebalancing Between Cash and Bitcoin
Summary
This tutorial introduces visual strategy construction through examples involving price changes, volume expansion, gaps, moving averages, MACD, and KDJ. Its main worked strategy applies threshold rebalancing between cash and Bitcoin: compare the market value of the coin holdings with the cash balance, then buy or sell when the difference crosses a set proportion. The article walks through identifying required market and account values, expressing the trading conditions, and repeating them in a loop so the strategy keeps checking the market.
The tutorial also describes a traditional stock-and-bond allocation as motivation and says the platform supports historical backtesting, but it reports no numerical backtest evidence. The Bitcoin example assumes cash and coin values begin in balance and illustrates trades after price rises or falls; transaction costs, slippage, taxes, and other operational constraints are not discussed. The author presents visual programming as an entry point and acknowledges it may not suit complex or finely tuned strategies.
Key ideas
- The tutorial explains how visual modules can express indicator calculations and trading conditions.
- The main example rebalances Bitcoin and cash when their values diverge beyond a threshold.
- A repeating loop is needed to keep evaluating conditions after the initial calculation.
- The article mentions historical backtesting but provides no numerical performance evidence.
- The author notes that visual programming has limits for complex strategy development.
