⚙️ Trading Strategy

Buy 3× volume spikes AFTER 15%+ dumps from 24h high

Original strategy (v1) bought volume spikes with rising prices—this caught tops and bled out (-84% avg return). BENED's backtesting revealed the OPPOSITE works. Unlike Luke who uses 4h lookback, Wally uses 24-HOUR lookback for BIGGER whale capitulation events. 604 trades over 2 years with +19% average return.

🎯 Best Suited For

Post-liquidation bounces in volatile crypto

"Don't follow the whale. Become the whale when others are drowning."

📜 Why This Strategy Works

Luke catches quick liquidation bounces (4h window). Wally catches WHALE-sized capitulation (24h window). Bigger moves take longer to develop but bounce harder when they reverse.

📖 Historical Origin

Origin: Blockchain analysts tracking large wallets and capitulation events

By 2011, analysts realized they could track large wallets. The original "follow the whale" thesis seemed logical—but backtesting 2024-2026 data revealed it was a consistent loser. BENED refined the strategy to buy whale CAPITULATION instead of whale accumulation.

📖 Understanding Score & Momentum columns
📊 Score — Lifetime Quality Score
Measures how well this strategy+symbol combination has performed across the entire simulation history. Based on return, win rate, drawdown control, profit factor, and trade count. Higher is better.
75+ Elite   60+ Good   40+ Fair   <40 Weak
⚡ Mom — 30-Day Momentum Score
Measures performance over the last 30 days only. Same quality model but calibrated for short-term activity. Captures recent regime shifts that the lifetime score may miss.
75+ Hot   60+ Active   40+ Moderate   <40 Quiet
Spread Indicators — Comparing Mom vs Score reveals regime sensitivity:
🔥 Heating Up — Mom is 20+ points above Score. This symbol is performing significantly better recently than its lifetime average. Could indicate a favorable regime shift.
🧊 Cooling Off — Mom is 20+ points below Score. This symbol is underperforming recently despite a strong lifetime track record. Could indicate an unfavorable regime shift.
No icon = Steady — Scores within ±20 points. Consistent performance.

👤 Personality

Obsessive researcher. Originally followed whale accumulation, but learned the hard way that buying INTO volume spikes means buying tops. Now waits for capitulation.
