Introduction to the Sprint BTC Trading System

The Sprint BTC trading system leverages quantitative trading signals developed by MarketGauge to capitalize on Bitcoin’s inherent volatility. The model identifies breakout opportunities based on price and our proprietary momentum indicator, RealMotion. We scan for explosive moves in both bear and bull markets.

This strategy exclusively trades Bitcoin or remains in cash, enabling trading through cryptocurrency exchanges or traditional brokerages offering Bitcoin trading. The Sprint BTC system trades only during regular stock market hours, Monday through Friday, excluding buy or sell signals during the night or weekends. With the Sprint BTC 24h version, entries remain restricted, but exits for stops or targets execute on a 24/7 basis.

Sprint BTC trades Bitcoin in short bursts, securing profits and allowing long-term compounding of returns. When entering a position, an initial stop loss and profit target are set. The strategy has three potential profit targets, with 1/3 of the original position sold at each level. If all three profit targets are reached, the final 1/3 is exited at the third target, and the position remains in cash until a new entry signal is generated.

Underlying factors may prompt an early exit without reaching the stop loss level. In such cases, exit the remainder of your position.

How to Trade the Sprint BTC 24h Strategy

Unlike the standard Sprint BTC, the 24h version executes sell orders for stops or target levels 24/7. This demands the use of resting orders to ensure execution when manual execution is not possible.

Most crypto exchanges do not offer Order-Cancels-Order trades, limiting you to one resting order at a time. The strategy uses both a resting stop and multiple profit targets, so you may need to choose between a resting stop or take-profit order. Generally, prioritize stop-loss orders to protect downside risk.

Exit alerts can be triggered before the stop-loss price is reached. In such cases, execute the sale as soon as possible.

For setting take-profit and stop-loss orders, use Limit-Sell and Stop-Limit-Sell orders, respectively. For more information on available order types, consult this Coinbase guide.

Quick Start: Starting A Portfolio

Begin by entering positions in progress at the correct fraction, or wait for the next fresh entry signal. The “Model Portfolio” page displays current positions, stops, and targets. Familiarize yourself with identifying these levels before entering trades.

Place hard stops at the initial stop loss and orders to exit at the first target (1/3 of the position) when initiating a position. Resting orders may be especially important before weekends during volatile periods.

The strategy allows only one position at a time, with 100% of allocated equity rolled into each consecutive trade. For information on opening an account at Coinbase, Kraken, or other exchanges, see the “Resources” tab in the CryptoPulse Dashboard area.

Trading Alerts & Position Updates

Entry signals can be generated at any time within the restricted trading window, accompanied by an initial stop loss price and initial Target 1 price.

Positions may generate exit signals without triggering the underlying stop. If the stop loss price is reached or an exit signal is generated, exit the position and remain in cash until the next entry signal.

There are three potential profit targets, with 1/3 of the original position sold at each level. If an exit signal is generated after reaching a profit target, exit the remainder of the position.

Monitoring the Strategy Portfolio

Check recent trade alerts in the “Position Updates” section of the website, which is updated whenever a trade alert is issued.

The “Model Portfolio” area displays current open positions, position calculator (CPQ), recently closed positions, and historical performance metrics. This section is typically updated daily after the close of the crypto trading day.

We also offer monthly webinars for CPQ users, where we discuss current holdings, new positions, and address member questions.
