I'm working on an automated crypto trading system. The goal is to prevent serious loses by using rules that should be safer than the way most people trade. I do

  Pretty much none of crypto trading can ever be skill-based depending on the time frame. Even in the medium term it’s a random walk.

    That's the dream of the quant!

  Interested in your thoughts on how most people trade. Also curious what the ruleset will do, along the lines of existing risk management strategies? (Limit % of account per trade and % per day or strategy to a certain level of loss?) If it's automated, I think it probably circumvents the more "addictive" type behaviours as they tend to be more prevalent in scalping or day trading strategies. What sort of timeframes are you targeting?

    From what I know it's partially based on what others are saying (e.g. Twitter), partially emotion based (fear/greed/etc), and otherwise based on luck. Some will pick a hyped coin and hope for the best. Risk management will be a big part of it. I was even thinking of enforcing %s to limit risky behavior, but users would probably just leave if I did that. Yes the idea is that automation reduces trades that aren't well thought out. I want to target as many timeframes as possible, but will likely start with 12H and 1D for the MVP. Website with sign-up for the MVP: https://tradecast.one https://tradecast.one
