Crypto Trend Book

Thesis

Liquid crypto trends can continue when 4-hour moving averages, momentum and trading volume agree.

Strategy

• Entries: Each month choose the top 30 allowed Hyperliquid coins by open interest; buy or short on EMA 21/55, RSI 55/45 and volume above 1.2x average. • Exits: Exit on an opposite EMA cross, RSI crossing 50 or a 2.5-ATR trailing stop that follows the best 4-hour close without moving backward. • Sizing: Base risk is 0.75% with 15% per-coin caps; leverage scales both, gross defaults to 150%, and the larger side is trimmed to a 20% imbalance.

Exposure

• Holds: Crypto perps and USDC — Holds long and short positions from the specified 50-coin list, leaving unused capital in USDC. • Venue: Hyperliquid — Trades main-dex perpetuals and keeps collateral in HyperCore USDC; exchange leverage is left unchanged. • Leverage: 0.25x–3x size multiplier — Scales risk and per-coin limits while the separate gross exposure ceiling remains binding. • Costs: Trading fees and funding — Pays Hyperliquid trading fees and receives or pays perpetual funding. • Data: Circuit — Uses market rankings, 4-hour candles, prices, funding and open interest served by Circuit. • On unwind: USDC — Closing positions releases USDC; stopping alone leaves positions and resting orders for Terminal to close.
