Imagine watching 50 charts at once for that one coin that is about to rip. Rapid Hunter does it for you. Scans pairs in seconds, detects momentum + volume spikes, fires entries with sub-second execution. The bot moves fast because momentum windows are short - minutes, not hours.
How it works
The bot continuously scans your selected universe of trading pairs - 10 to 50 typically - watching for the simultaneous appearance of three signals: rapid price acceleration, volume spike at least 1.8x the recent moving average, and persistent buy-side pressure. When all three align on a pair, it fires a sub-second entry, then exits on a tight trailing take-profit (1-3%) or a hard stop-loss. The whole strategy is about catching short-lived momentum bursts and getting out before they fade.
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.
Multi-pair scanners are useful but generate noise. Default volume threshold is 1.8x the moving average - without it, you will fire on every random tick. The strategy lives or dies on filter discipline: too loose = chasing fakeouts and pump-and-dumps; too tight = missing real moves. Use volatility-adjusted sizing (allocate 1/volatility - smaller positions on riskier assets) so the bot does not blow your account on one extreme spike. Best in volatile mid/small-caps; useless on smooth majors.
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.
