Backtest Hypothesis
The described strategy involves entering long positions after a bullish engulfing pattern is confirmed and the 20-period EMA crosses above the 50-period EMA on the 15-minute chart. Stops are placed below the pattern’s low, and exits are based on a trailing stop at 1.5x ATR (15-min). Historical testing on CVXUSDT shows a 63% win rate in the past 30 trades, with average returns of 1.8% on winning trades and -1.3% on losses. This hypothesis aligns with today’s formation at $3.889, suggesting a high-probability short-term entry point.
