Auto-follow/AI Momentum v.1
SYSTEMATIC RELATIVE-STRENGTH STRATEGY

HIFI TRADE AI Momentum v.1

The algorithm compares liquid USDT contracts with one another: the strongest form the long book and the weakest form the short book. The result depends on relative dispersion, not only on the direction of the entire crypto market.

MECHANICS

How the algorithm works

01

Universe

Roughly 30 of the most liquid USDT perpetual contracts pass the exchange filters.

02

Four horizons

Momentum is measured over 7, 14, 28 and 84 days, then combined into one relative-strength ranking.

03

Two books

Six leaders enter the long book and six laggards enter the short book. Position weights account for volatility.

04

The 6/10 rule

A position stays while it remains in the top or bottom ten, reducing unnecessary turnover, fees and slippage.

What is included

  • The new portfolio size is calculated from the current Bybit Master account totalEquity.
  • Exchange minimums, quantity steps and available capital are checked before orders; residual capital remains in USDT.
  • The historical test accounts for fees, funding and assumed slippage.
RISK

Limitations

  • The available history does not cover every possible market regime.
  • Actual results depend on connection timing, account size, copy settings, liquidity and execution quality.
  • A market-neutral target does not eliminate temporary directional exposure or losses.
