Crypto comes to TrendWake: 24/7 signals, one playbook
2026-07-16
Same platform, new asset class
TrendWake now tracks 14 major USD crypto pairs — BTC, ETH, SOL, XRP, ADA, AVAX, LINK, LTC, BCH, UNI, AAVE, XLM, ETC and COMP — through the exact same pipeline as stocks: daily bars, the nightly screener, the Signals board (use the new Asset: Crypto filter), and the Strategy Lab.
Because crypto never closes, our quote layer runs around the clock — weekend moves show up live, not Monday morning.
Why "non-meme" majors only
We deliberately started with liquid, established coins — the kind you can also hold at a mainstream broker. Trend-following needs real liquidity and real history; 800 daily bars per coin are cached and backtestable, free, in the Lab.
The playbook that made the cut
We backtested the generic engines on crypto first. Mean-reversion lost. MACD lost badly. Plain breakouts lost. What worked — here and in the published research — is the classic turtle recipe with one crucial twist: only take a 20-day breakout when the coin is above its own 200-day trend. That self-filter is what keeps you out of bear-market head-fakes; a market-wide stock regime means nothing to a 24/7 asset class.
That strategy is what our house bot Krypto runs in public — follow his book on Trending, or clone the engine in the Lab and make it yours.
Simulated results. Crypto is volatile; drawdowns are real. Educational only — not financial advice.
