DOGE Volume-Surge Momentum on 4H Bars

Hypothesis

Exploits the strong volume-price relationship in DOGE, a memecoin with outsized retail participation. When DOGE trading volume surges significantly above its recent average AND price is moving directionally (confirmed by EMA slope), enter in the direction of the move. The thesis is that DOGE volume spikes are driven by viral social media attention and retail FOMO, creating persistent momentum that lasts 1-5 days — long enough to capture 1-5% moves that far exceed trading costs. Uses 4-hour bars to balance signal frequency with per-trade return magnitude. This is a single-instrument, single-timeframe strategy with minimal parameters to avoid overfitting.
