Digital Long-Short Strategy Trading System: Live & Backtested Performance

ยท

Strategy Overview

In contrast to the unilateral strategies previously shared, this digital asset long-short strategy delivers low-risk, high-return performance by capitalizing on price divergence among cryptocurrencies. The system remains market-neutral, making it ideal for conservative investors seeking stable returns with minimized volatility.

Core Logic

  1. Market Opportunity: With 500+ USD-margined contracts on exchanges like Binance, cryptocurrencies increasingly demonstrate price independence from BTC/ETH. Daily price gaps between top-gaining and bottom-losing coins often exceed 40%.
  2. Three-Pronged Approach:

    • Employs three proprietary signal factors validated through exhaustive historical testing
    • Each sub-strategy targets different execution cycles for temporal diversification
    • Market-neutral construction ensures directional hedging against crypto market movements
