Every month, we analyze potential trading strategies based on the data of the CryptoKnowledge platform. Today, we will dive into a MACD-based strategy that achieved a whopping 87% win rate in September. Let’s get started right ahead.

87% MACD Strategy Explained

Before we have a closer look at the results, I want to dive deep into the strategy itself to give you an in-depth understanding of the approach. While many traders love to ride the highs, chasing after bullish signals, the strategy took a slightly different tack: The focus was primarily on short trades. In the world of crypto trading, going ‘short’ means betting on the token’s price to drop.

Traded Tokens

For my trades, I didn’t just stick to the usual suspects. Instead, I diversified my investments, casting my net across an eclectic mix of tokens, namely GRT, AAVE, ALGO, EGLD, STX, EOS, XTZ, THEATA, MANA, RUNE, NEO, SNX, KLAY, IOTA, ZEC, COMP, and DASH. This diversified approach allowed me to spread risk across different crypto assets, enhancing the overall robustness of my strategy.

Used Indicators

The strategy is mainly based on two indicators:

• Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD)
• PulseCheck (we use the PulseCheck 50)

MACD

Central to the trading approach is the MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence) analyzed on the daily chart. For those unfamiliar, the MACD is an indicator that evaluates the relationship between two moving averages of a token’s price. When the MACD line crosses below its signal line, it can indicate that the token may be due for a downturn, suggesting a potential selling opportunity.

PulseCheck

Yet, the MACD, as powerful as it is, wasn’t the sole player in this strategy.

An essential component was the PulseCheck indicator, a proprietary tool from the CryptoKnowledge platform. Now, PulseCheck50 isn’t your average indicator. It consolidates data from 17 different technical indicators, providing a comprehensive overview of market conditions.

The “50” in PulseCheck50 refers to a specific threshold: The strategy only initiates a trade when at least half (50%) of these indicators suggest a selling opportunity. This means the strategy wasn’t just relying on the MACD’s bearish signals but waiting for a consensus among various indicators, ensuring that multiple layers of technical analysis backed my trades.

Take Profit / Stop Loss

The strategy had a clear exit strategy: Trades were closed once a token hit a predetermined support level (provided by the CryptoKnowledge platform). When the market moved against my predictions, I had a safety net, closing the trade when the token touched a set resistance level. This approach ensured that losses were minimized even if a trade didn’t go as planned.
