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.
Key Features
Strategy profile
A snapshot of how this strategy behaves and who it suits, not a forecast of returns.
These are designer assessments of strategy character, not user-specific performance figures.
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.
