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.

⚠️ 100% figures = small sample size (7-30 trades). In live trading expect 85-92% WR.
Instruments (priority)
- BNB/USD — strongest overall (+157R, 96.4% WR)
- BTC/USD — most trades (+148R, 86.7%)
- SOL/USD — +115R, 95.1%
- XRP/USD — 100% weekend (+102R)
- ETH/USD — +80R, 96.4%
- ADA/USD — +86R, 88.2%
- DOGE/USD — 100% both (+72R)
Rule: Max 1 instrument per setup — the best A+ setup wins.
Times (CET — ALL 7 DAYS)
| Window | Time (CET) | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Primary window | 15:00-23:00 | ✅ High volatility — trade only here |
| Top volatility | 16:00 + 23:00 (0.47%) | ✅ Best |
| Strong window | 17:00-19:00 (0.42-0.46%) | ✅ Good |
| Good window | 15:00 + 22:00 (0.41%) | ✅ Okay |
| Dead zone | 07:00-12:00 (0.30-0.34%) | ⛔ Avoid — widest spreads |
Strategy (same DRT — no exceptions)
- Dealing range on 1h: sweep (raid) of swing high/low + relative equal levels on the opposite side
- Filter ≥ 5×ATR (14-period ATR on 1h) — the most important filter
- 4 quadrants: 25DRT (discount) / 50DRT / 75DRT (premium)
- Entry: Long at 25DRT after candle close above · Short at 75DRT after candle close below
- SL: behind the sweep level + 0.5×ATR buffer
- 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
- Start: $50-100 play-money account
- At +20R: increase risk to 3%
- At +50R: increase to 5% — or move profit to the main plan
- NEVER before +20R
Daily routine (all 7 days)
| Time (CET) | Action |
|---|---|
| 14:30 | Scan all 7 pairs on 1h — find DRT ranges |
| 15:00-23:00 | Execute A+ setups (max 3) |
| After 23:00 | Journal all trades |
| Friday/Sunday evening | Weekly summary + plan for the week |
Discipline rules
- No setup = no trade (2-3/day is normal)
- Never lower the filter (below 5×ATR = WR drops)
- SL is never moved
- In doubt = no trade
- Avoid the dead zone 07:00-12:00
- Journal everything
- 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
