STRATEGY

Astrology

Trades on moon phases and a 1948 astrology calendar. Sounds wild, the edge is small - but enough traders watch celestial events that the pattern shows up in price. A quirky diversifier, not a main engine.

Quick take

If you have ever heard "do not trade on full moons", this is the bot version of that. It is a real strategy with a small statistical edge, mainly used as a 1-3% portfolio tilt. Do not expect it to outperform Bitcoin.

How it works

The bot watches three kinds of celestial events - moon phases, planetary alignments from the Bradley Siderograph, and Mercury retrograde windows - and places trades when one or more line up with the rules you set. It is purely calendar-driven: no chart reading, no price indicators. The thinking is that enough traders watch these events that they show up as small but real patterns in market behavior.

Real talk

Academic consensus is "no consistent edge from lunar/planetary trading". Bradley research shows mild timing significance (turns within plus or minus 4 days, 1900-2014 data) but no direction prediction. Treat this as a fun 1-3% slice, not your bread and butter.

Frequently Asked Questions

Quick glossary

Definitions for the trading terms used on this page.

Backtest
A simulation of how a strategy would have performed on historical price data. Past results never guarantee future returns - markets change.
Slippage
The difference between the price you expect and the price you actually get when an order fills. Worse on illiquid pairs and during fast markets.
Spread
The gap between the best buy price (bid) and the best sell price (ask). Tight spreads = liquid market, wider spreads = more cost per round trip.
Stop-loss
An automatic exit order that closes a losing position when price hits a chosen threshold. Caps how much one bad trade can hurt you.
Take-profit
An automatic exit order that closes a winning position once price reaches a chosen target. Locks in gains without relying on you to watch the chart.
Volatility
How sharply price moves. High volatility = bigger swings in both directions, which means more opportunity but also more drawdown risk.
