ETH Impulse Zone Breakout

Thesis

ETH often keeps moving after a forceful escape from a price zone; breakouts and first retests offer entries with the four-hour trend.

Strategy

• Entries: Trade hourly ETH impulse-zone breakouts and first retests with the four-hour EMA(100), normal yearly ATR, and outside 21:00–24:00 Pacific. • Risk and size: Risk 1% of allocated equity, cap notional at 3x equity, and put the stop 0.25 hourly ATR beyond the zone; venue minimum orders apply. • Exits: Use native stops and 3R targets, exit on a valid opposite signal or after ten days, and cancel remaining orders when the position closes.

Exposure

• Holds: ETH perp and USDC — Holds one long or short ETH position at a time, with USDC collateral between signals. • Venue: Hyperliquid main — Trades main-dex ETH; Terminal handles cancelling orders and closing positions after you stop. • Leverage: Up to 3x notional — Caps planned ETH exposure at three times allocated equity without changing exchange leverage. • Costs: Trading fees, funding — Pays Hyperliquid trading fees and ETH perpetual funding. • Data: Circuit — Uses hourly and four-hour candles, ETH prices, market listings, funding and open interest as served. • On unwind: USDC — Closing ETH leaves USDC collateral and the trade's realized result.
