Summary:
Using Heiken Ashi candles and default 10 and 20 Moving Averages for crossover signals to determine signals to go long, short and close trades.
How it works:
- Is the 10MA above the 20MA and a bullish candle? If yes, open a long.
- Will close the trade at the first bearish candle.
- Reverse this for going short.
- If you can't short, just close your long and hold till the next long signal.
Quite a conservative strategy, not for day trading. Comes into it's own in trending markets as long as you stick to the signals.
Alert messages:
- Long
- Short
- Close

Will need to be able to short altcoins to make the most of it, or at least will at least keep you out of sustained downtrends (=/= holding).
Backtest it on bitcoin and other large cap alts on high time frames to see for yourself. For lazy trading, can set up alerts with AutoView.
