BearRider

BearRider is StormRider's bear-market partner: a short-only strategy for futures, built for falling markets. On 4h candles it waits until a coin's 50-day trend is falling, sells short when the Supertrend turns down, and buys back when the Supertrend turns up again or the downtrend ends. Every position has a stop-loss that follows the trend line down. There is no fixed take-profit, so a few long drops pay for the small losses in between. In rising or sideways markets it mostly holds no position, sometimes for weeks or months. Run it next to StormRider on a different coin or exchange account: the app allows one running bot per coin and account. Futures only: on a spot market it does not trade.
