FoundLuxWhat it is built for
- Longer upward phases in which pullbacks stay short
- Many large coins at once — the basket smooths out the single coin
- If you want few decisions: one per candle, with 1d one a day

Trading bot
Trend Guard Trend + pullback
Two halves, one direction: one follows the trend — in as long as the price is above its EMA and BTC plays along. The other buys short pullbacks in the uptrend and sells on the first recovery. Long only, decided at the candle close, ideally on all twelve large coins at once.
How the bot thinksDiagram
How it works
The trend half
In as long as the candle closes above the EMA (default: EMA50 on daily candles) and the market weather is good. If the close falls below it, it exits. That way it stays in during long upward moves and stays out in downward phases.
The pullback half
Buys when RSI(2) falls below the threshold (default 10) and the price is above its SMA200 — a short dip in an intact trend. Sells on the first close above the SMA5.
The market weather
The trend half only enters when BTC is above its daily EMA (default 200, adjustable from 10 to 300). If BTC drops below it, it exits — even if its own coin is still rising.
When it decides
At the close of every candle of its timeframe — with daily candles once a day, five minutes after midnight (UTC). The signals come from the Binance candles; live trading happens on MEXC.
What you set
| Setting | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Timeframe | 1m to 1d — 4h, 6h, 12h and 1d held up |
| Trend EMA | How sluggish the trend half is (by click 9 · 20 · 50 · 100 · 200) |
| RSI(2) threshold | How deep a pullback has to be |
| Share of the trend half | How the money is split (default 50 %) |
| Market weather | BTC above its daily EMA — on/off, length 10 to 300 |
Three presets fill everything in with one click: Calm (1d, EMA150), Standard (1d, EMA50), Fast (12h, EMA100). No Top 50 — the presets have been tested on the large coins.
What the study says
Calculated with the same engine as the bot, on the twelve large coins with $100 each, leverage 1, fees and slippage as measured live plus a funding estimate. The learning period (2020 – June 2024) contains the big bull market; the test period from July 2024 is more honest.
| Preset | Learning period / year | Test period / year | Coins in profit | Deepest drawdown |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Calm · 1d · EMA150 | +96 % | +9 % | 8 / 12 | 24 % / 13 % |
| Standard · 1d · EMA50 | +90 % | +19 % | 12 / 12 | 27 % / 12 % |
| Fast · 12h · EMA100 | +179 % | +17 % | 10 / 12 | 29 % / 13 % |
Result per year on the basket's $1,200, without compounding; drawdown of the whole basket in the learning / test period. On small timeframes the picture flips: 1h −19 %, 30m −65 %, 5m −535 % a year (test period) — there the costs eat every advantage.
When it does not work
- Sideways and down. Then the trend half stays out and earns nothing; pullbacks that keep falling cost money.
- Small timeframes. Below 4h it switches so often that fees and slippage eat up the advantage.
- Long only. It does not trade falling markets — it waits them out.
- Patience. Drawdowns of 20–30 % and many months without profit are part of it; the result comes from a few long trends.
No bot always wins. Each of the eight has market phases in which it loses — that is why the box on the right is on this page at all. Let it run in the demo account until you have seen a bad phase, not just a good one.
