After fees of 0.1% per trade. Binance daily candles. The past does not promise the future.
The rules, in plain words
- Each day at 00:00 UTC, it notes Ether's opening price.
- It places three buy orders 5%, 10% and 15% below that price, each with a third of your amount.
- At 23:59 UTC it sells everything it bought that day and cancels the orders that did not fill.
- It never keeps Ether overnight and never touches coins it did not buy.
Risk
The hardest stretch since 2021 took USD 212 off USD 1,000 before it recovered (USD 793 for just holding Ether). Choose an amount you can leave through a drop like that.
