An 8-hour Bitcoin trend strategy built on adaptive ATR bands and a 13-EMA trend filter, now with a directional ATR Trend Predictor (v12), six trade modes, eight smart filters, and six layers of stop protection. Long & short, bot-ready, and free.
A complete, rules-based trend system for Bitcoin on the 8H chart — adaptive entries, a directional trend engine, layered protection, and clean automation.
Entries trigger off adaptive ATR band breaks confirmed by the 13 EMA, targeting clean setups with favourable risk/reward instead of chasing every candle.
A directional trend engine with a grace-candle buffer that kills whipsaw — it waits for confirmation before flipping the regime.
A majority-vote trend read taken over fixed candle batches, smoothing out single-bar noise into a stable directional bias.
Long-only, short-only, smart-switch, pure Predictor flips, or Combined with the classic band/EMA entries — pick the behaviour that fits your style.
Session, trend, volume, RSI, ADX, price action, volatility, and time filters work together to strip out low-quality trades.
ATR-band, percentage, time-based, break-even, warning-zone, and the new Predictor-Flip stop loss — capital protection from multiple angles.
A live on-chart dashboard shows the active trade mode, trend direction, and filter states in real time, so you always know why the strategy is (or isn't) in a trade.
The v12 ATR Trend Predictor and Batch Counter establish the regime, while a grace-candle buffer prevents whipsaw flips on noisy 8H bars.
Six stop layers — dynamic ATR stops, percentage and time-based exits, break-even lock-in, warning zones, and an instant Predictor-Flip stop the moment the trend turns.
Dynamic ATR-based stops that scale with volatility, break-even protection after a favourable move, time-based exits for stagnant positions, and warning-zone alerts before a stop triggers.
Every new v12 feature ships off by default — existing v11 setups behave exactly as before, so you can opt in to the Predictor on your own terms.
Clean JSON alerts (long/short entry and exit) with full trade data. Works with 3Commas, Cornix, or any custom webhook — including the free CryptoScope platform on Bybit/Binance with managed TP/SL.
