(part 1)This is Bitcoin. One candle is one day. The fast average: the mean price of the last 20 days. The slow average: the last 50 days. It moves more slowly. When the fast one crosses above the slow one, traders buy. That's a golden cross. When it crosses back below, they sell. That's a death cross.https://backtestd.com/media/en/moving-average-trend-following-tested-explained.mp4352026-10-26T16:55:01+00:00https://backtestd.com/en/videos/moving-average-trend-following-tested/https://backtestd.com/media/en/moving-average-trend-following-tested.jpgMoving-average trend following: we tested 1249 versionsMoving-average trend following: 1249 versions tested on 41 markets over 2.7 years, fees included. 86% made money.https://backtestd.com/media/en/moving-average-trend-following-tested.mp4752026-10-26T18:37:05+00:00https://backtestd.com/en/videos/ny-open-12-ema-nasdaq-tested-explained/https://backtestd.com/media/en/ny-open-12-ema-nasdaq-tested-explained.jpgThe New York open strategy (part 1)This is the Nasdaq, one candle every 15 minutes. At 9:30, New York opens. The first candle sets the direction. The 12 EMA: the average of the last 12 candles, recent ones count more. First candle closes above the 12 EMA: buy. Below it: sell.

Selling made minus 0.09. When Bitcoin went sideways, both sides were close to zero. And when it fell, even shorts lost 0.10 R per trade.

(part 1)Look at three candles. The middle one is huge. Traders call it displacement. Between the first candle's high and the third candle's low, price left a gap. That's the Fair Value Gap. The idea: price comes back to fill the gap… …and bounces. You buy inside the gap, with a stop just below it.https://backtestd.com/media/en/fair-value-gap-fvg-tested-explained.mp4332026-10-27T15:21:50+00:00https://backtestd.com/en/videos/fair-value-gap-fvg-tested/https://backtestd.com/media/en/fair-value-gap-fvg-tested.jpgFair value gap (FVG): we tested 772 versionsFair value gap (FVG): 772 versions tested on 24 markets over 2.7 years, fees included. 50% made money.https://backtestd.com/media/en/fair-value-gap-fvg-tested.mp4852026-10-27T15:43:28+00:00https://backtestd.com/en/videos/why-traders-lose-tight-stops/https://backtestd.com/media/en/why-traders-lose-tight-stops.jpgTight stops: why traders loseTight stops feel safe.

Lower highs, lower lows. Then price closes above the last high. Traders call it a change of character. It breaks the next high too. A break of structure: the trend is now up.

(part 1)First, the trend: price above its 50-day average means an uptrend. Below, the RSI. It measures recent momentum, from 0 to 100. In an uptrend, wait for the RSI to dip, here below 45. That's the pullback. Then you buy the dip, betting the trend resumes, with a stop under the recent low.https://backtestd.com/media/en/rsi-pullback-in-a-trend-tested-explained.mp4442026-10-28T10:50:28+00:00https://backtestd.com/en/videos/rsi-pullback-in-a-trend-tested/https://backtestd.com/media/en/rsi-pullback-in-a-trend-tested.jpgRSI pullback in a trend: we tested 1448 versionsRSI pullback in a trend: 1448 versions tested on 24 markets over 2.7 years, fees included. 25% made money.https://backtestd.com/media/en/rsi-pullback-in-a-trend-tested.mp41012026-10-28T16:52:58+00:00https://backtestd.com/en/videos/why-traders-lose-doubling-explained/https://backtestd.com/media/en/why-traders-lose-doubling-explained.jpgDoubling down, explained: it wins 99% of the time. That's the trap.Doubling down wins 99% of the time. That's the trap. Buy. It drops 10%: buy again, twice as much. Every new drop: double again (4×, 8×…). Your average price falls, so a small bounce closes in profit. The catch: a long enough drop needs more money than you have.
