Crypto DRT Scalping (Crypto Plan v1.1) 🪙

Foundation

  • Same Dealing Range Theory (DRT) as the main plan — but on crypto, which trades 24/7 all 7 days.
  • Backtested on 2 years of 1h data: 280 trades, 92.9% WR, +760R (weekdays 93.1% / weekend 92.4%).
  • ⚠️ Gold (XAUUSD) is CLOSED on weekends — only crypto is open Saturday/Sunday.
  • 100% separated from the main account — separate play-money account, separate rules.

TOTAL (18 pairs)~92%~+900~88%~+400

⚠️ 100% figures = small sample size (7-30 trades). In live trading expect 85-92% WR.

Instruments (priority)

  1. BNB/USD — strongest overall (+157R, 96.4% WR)
  2. BTC/USD — most trades (+148R, 86.7%)
  3. SOL/USD — +115R, 95.1%
  4. XRP/USD — 100% weekend (+102R)
  5. ETH/USD — +80R, 96.4%
  6. ADA/USD — +86R, 88.2%
  7. DOGE/USD — 100% both (+72R)

Rule: Max 1 instrument per setup — the best A+ setup wins.

Times (CET — ALL 7 DAYS)

WindowTime (CET)Status
Primary window15:00-23:00✅ High volatility — trade only here
Top volatility16:00 + 23:00 (0.47%)✅ Best
Strong window17:00-19:00 (0.42-0.46%)✅ Good
Good window15:00 + 22:00 (0.41%)✅ Okay
Dead zone07:00-12:00 (0.30-0.34%)⛔ Avoid — widest spreads

Strategy (same DRT — no exceptions)

  1. Dealing range on 1h: sweep (raid) of swing high/low + relative equal levels on the opposite side
  2. Filter ≥ 5×ATR (14-period ATR on 1h) — the most important filter
  3. 4 quadrants: 25DRT (discount) / 50DRT / 75DRT (premium)
  4. Entry: Long at 25DRT after candle close above · Short at 75DRT after candle close below
  5. SL: behind the sweep level + 0.5×ATR buffer
  6. TP: opposite side of the range (2-3R)

Risk Management (play-money account)

  • $50-100 account: 2% risk per trade
  • Max 3 trades per day
  • 2 losses in a row = stop for the day
  • No revenge trading · No martingale · 5% daily drawdown limit

Scaling

  1. Start: $50-100 play-money account
  2. At +20R: increase risk to 3%
  3. At +50R: increase to 5% — or move profit to the main plan
  4. NEVER before +20R

Daily routine (all 7 days)

Time (CET)Action
14:30Scan all 7 pairs on 1h — find DRT ranges
15:00-23:00Execute A+ setups (max 3)
After 23:00Journal all trades
Friday/Sunday eveningWeekly summary + plan for the week

Discipline rules

  1. No setup = no trade (2-3/day is normal)
  2. Never lower the filter (below 5×ATR = WR drops)
  3. SL is never moved
  4. In doubt = no trade
  5. Avoid the dead zone 07:00-12:00
  6. Journal everything
  7. Only A+ setups — say no to 80%

Expectation

  • ~20-28 trades/month (all 12 pairs)
  • 88-92% WR → ~28 winners (+2.5R) − 3 losers (−3R) ≈ +67R/month
  • $100 @ 2% risk: +$80/month initially — grows with the account

  • Backtest: tradevault/scripts/backtest_krypto_all.py (7 pairs) + new pair tests
