RUNNING

Trend pullback

Waits for a short dip inside an uptrend, then buys when the price starts recovering.

BTC, ETH and SOL · since September 2026

How it works

It needs three things at once. The price is up at least 2% over the past day, with its six-hour average above its 24-hour average and the price above that 24-hour average. The past hour has dipped between 0.25% and 1.5%. The last 15 minutes have recovered at least 0.1%. It then buys up to $100 of simulated exposure, including fees. It queues a sale after a 4% drop from entry, a 6% drop from its observed high, a fall below the 24-hour average, or 72 hours, whichever comes first. A triggered exit does not guarantee a sale price.

What happened

Results are private for now. Our running strategies use market data from the Kraken exchange, and we're confirming we're allowed to republish it. The earlier studies' results also remain unpublished. Each page shows the rules and what happened, without account figures. A hidden result is neither a good nor a bad sign.
