Crypto is a fast-paced, highly-volatile asset, therefore, many traditional strategies are thrown out of the window when applied to cryptocurrency markets. In trading, there are only two things known for sure: price and volume . Price and volume data is then manipulated using various math equations in an effort to discover patterns and/or make predictions. kiska clouds are no different.
The kiska clouds are a simple crossover strategy. The clouds are different because of the unique averages being used and the embedded momentum indicator .
To use the clouds is simple:
When the green line crosses above the pink line, you buy/long.
When the green line crosses below the pink line, you sell/short.
The clouds are indicative of the trend's momentum. Using the power of math, the larger the cloud indicates a higher amount of buying/selling pressure. As the cloud thins, momentum is slowing, and the trend may be reversing.
At the time of testing, the strategy had a profitability of 54.55% accuracy with 1133.41% net profit. While I think this could be automated into a bot, adding a human element with stop losses and further analysis will significantly improve the accuracy/profitability.
