Hagakure MACD

Overview

This strategy is based only on the MACD crossing EMA line (optimized configuration) as a necessary signal. Entry points based on candle patterns are ignored. This will lead to a much higher number of trades per day, but it may lead to some losses (if you are willing to accept higher yield/higher risk). Furthermore, it will be used for opening and closing short positions (adjusted through the triggers). Thus, it is very important that you set the TRIGGERS as indicated below. Since the position(s) may go through 1-3 buy-sell cycles (because of shorting) until it reaches the 5% trailing stop loss profit, it is recommended to use this on a low trader/maker fees exchange platform such as Kucoin or Binance. Do not use this strategy and triggers with Coinbase Pro, the very high trading fees will annul your profits.
This strategy is only recommended when the MACD line for BTC/USDT and ETH/USDT (1 day candles, 12,26, close, 9) is above the signal line (i.e. MACD signals a buy); check periodically tradingview to verify.

Coins and amounts
Base currency: I suggest USDT, but the strategy works fine with any fiat currency or stablecoin. Have not tested it for volatile coins, but in theory it should work.
Allowed coins: it depends on your exchange, but my suggestions (for Binance) are: BTC, ETH, BNB, NEO, LTC, QTUM, ADA, EOS, XLM, TRX, LINK, ZEC, ATOM, XTZ, DOT, XRP, IOTA, ETC, VET,
ZIL, ZRX, XMR, DASH, NANO, THETA, ENJ, ALGO, COTI, COMP, LUNA, SUSHI, YFI, EGLD, UNI, 1INCH, AAVE. If you have Hero subscription, allow more coins so that you reach a number of 75.
Backtest the strategy for your candidate coins so that it will give you at least 90% successful sells with profit, for average holding time of no more than 4 days.
Percentage buy amount: 0.5 (for bull or neutral markets), 0.25 (for bear and weekends)
Minimum USDT amount per order: force the minimum enforced by your exchange (i.e. for Binance it is 2.5 USDT)

IN CASE THAT YOU ALSO SUBSCRIBE TO SIGNALS, IF YOU ENABLE "SIGNAL CONFIGURATION", THE SIGNALLER MAY OVERRIDE THE ABOVE SHORTING SETTINGS!

As with all other Hagakure strategies, you can only apply the present strategy to coins during which the RSI (14) on the 4 day scale has crossed above the Moving Average (MA 14) also on the 4 day scale AND RSI (14) is less than 70, AND the On Balance Volume (OBV) is increasing for at least 14 periods (each period is 4 days). The above considerations cannot be implemented in the strategy because CH does not allow indicator values of longer than 1 day.
