Our first experiment will be testing out $1500. We will be tracking HNT/USDT and HNT/BTC and have sell orders between 25 to 31 and BTC equivalents based on current indicators. When there is a balance of USDT and BTC, we can begin trading there.

This will be a very exciting experiment in trying to beat out the efficiency of "Buying & HODL'ing." Especially when you see the Helium Explorer. Now I'm trying to figure out how to connect the grid. https://explorer.helium.com/ While Crypto is primarily valued in US Dollar, the goal is to help people learn about crypto market dynamics, how to protect their assets from volatility, and eventually generate more crypto. In the past, we would normally take $1,500 and yolo into Doge or GPU mining rigs. While both strategies have technically been 100%+; we now have almost unlimited amounts of data to help make smarter decisions for traders, but also for the miners and the hard working people who are investing their time, energy, and cash to develop these awesome technologies. I won't go into the exact specifics of Correlation Coefficients quite yet, but 9 times out of 10, every asset class is correlated to almost anything else you can plug in. Sometimes, you can use a "CC" on the same "ticker" to produce very interesting results. Doge is a fun one for that. Throughout the day we will provide updates as the data aggregates and the strategy is adjusted. Feel free to ask any questions, critique the thought process, and as always... have fun!!

So far, we are up $73. Looking to take a little profit between $21.20 and $21.40. I forgot to set alerts on the HNT/USDT Perpetual Futures pair on Binance. Fixed that. Perpetual Futures are very risky, and I don't recommend them for anyone getting into crypto or trading. However, they provide a unique insight into different money flows and will usually trigger alerts that spot pairs wouldn't because of their increased volume.

Keep an eye on your vwaps at 7pm Central time or in less than1 hour. This is when futures contracts get settled and/or heavily active bots will reset strategies. I haven't gone digging too deep into the actual sources and mechanisms of perpetual futures, but it is very similar to the same moves at 5pm central time on the CBOE futures.

Based on the earlier support that HNT had at the vwap, I had adjusted my limit orders to slightly over the "meme-level" $21.420. The futures peaked at 21.419 before the rest down to a lower support level that I will detail in the glossary and triggers. The 3-min model was still maintaining a long position so I was expecting a heavy hitting condition.... the rebound off the support level has hit the first limit sell order.

I had a limit order for just 1 HNT at roughly 21.611, and the current balance is at $1,619

I will use the USDT funds to set 1-2 tiered limit orders on BTC after some analysis and possible triggers in the middle of the night. Today had some good data that I would typically use to to identify opportunities or signals that indicate rotations between alts and the "Legacy" Cryptos. The correlating trend the dollar is strong which means little movements can have greater swings.

I'm seeing some conflicting triggers that could result in a "stop-loss" and/or "stop limit" raid. I'll detail these in the glossary, I will set some BTC/USDT Limit buy orders at 46k and 45k in case an algo goes berserk or attempts to reset. ~$10 each unless I see and opportunity to buy back 1+ HNT at a lower price than the total cost of commissions. This is when I would suggest setting an over-night price level alert in case something funky happens.

The minimum order amount is .0005 btc per order for BTC/USDT spot pair so I might do some research into some other available spot pairs and see if there are some good set-ups. The Legacy coins sucked a lot of momentum out of alts so there should be 1 or 2 decent opportunities. Any suggestions from your favorite projects? Preferably real blockchain projects and not 50 breeds of doge.

In order for a strategy to be truly successful, it has to be emotionless. ICX has been going strong but it looks like it's at a cross roads and confirming some other trends that indicate a retest of lower support levels as the US Dollar Index Keeps pumping up to a possible meme-level 94.20. The correlations are not normal so I would look for wild fluxuactions as some people disable losing bots or get liquidated on perpetual futures. Limit orders set on ICX. I can utilize the smaller token price and spreads to simulate some theories using #of contracts vs percentage of equity per order. Then backtest

$1500 HNT/BTC Experiment

Alexander

Our strategy is indicating a possible downturn in both HNT and BTC, so we have locked in a fair amount of USDT in an effort to buy back in at lower dollar valuations while capitalizing on the volatility between the HNT/BTC.

Alexander

Good morning everyone. Asset update. We rotated into USDT last night based on the Short Triggers "Popping" up everywhere. Dollar cost averaging back in this morning. All capital has been deployed in a new set of tiered limit orders

Alexander

This could get ugly

Alexander

HNT managed to hold pretty strong relative to BTC. The over-all crypto market has a lot of downward momentum playing against it on the 5-15 minute charts. Setting stop losses here is risky. Might have to crank up the volume on my phone in case a bunch of trigger alerts start popping off.

Alexander

I just realized there is a decent amount of HNT that hasn't been allocated to limit sell orders... yet

Alexander

Good Morning everyone. Here is a little update on how our limit order strategy played out. We managed to buy up some of the dip.

Alexander

Current asset allocation is now weighted more heavily towards HNT

Alexander

Not so good morning to everyone. The crypto market took a nice dump overnight. All of the warning signs and alerts were there, but ignored the model and stayed in crypto. There was also very little support on the depth chart, and market selling out of our position would have caused a noticeable dip on the exchange we are using. Good news is that our of our lower limit orders did get filled. We will re-evaluate conditions, and set some lower limit HNT/BTC orders.

Alexander

Back again with the latest update. Nothing special. It's been difficult to keep up with how fast the model can send alerts.

With that in mind, its time for a proper dyno run and back-test through all of the gears in a sandbox environment. Stay "Tuned"

peter

Always moving.

Alexander

peter
Slow & Steady until we're ready.
Got some limit orders set. Things could get bad as the longer time frames do their thing.

Alexander

This could be rough

Alexander

Made some adjustments to limit orders

Alexander

Good morning everyone! We didn't get the fills that we wanted. The past few days have been pretty hectic trying to get the Technical Analysis model to auto trade without being overly aggressive on the take profit triggers that. There are some other cryptos that have been accumulating large amounts of market volume as well, so HNT might have been placed on the back burner.

Alexander

What a wild past few days. We weren't able to capture all of the best moves but we did manage to gain a few extra HNT out of all that Chaos.

peter

Alexander Not bad. 😉

Alexander

peter it should have been 2%-4% better, but a stop loss shut me out of a nice chunk of profits from the last run. Managed to catch some recent limit orders in anticipation for a BTC run after the alts are done having fun.

Alexander

It looks like HNT could be gearing up for a little run.

Alexander

Good morning everyone! A little update on the HNT/BTC Experiment. We are currently outperforming the HODL strategy by about $60. Even after the latest dumps.
