Instead of watching charts all day, a Trend following bot on Coinrule can track momentum signals and place orders the moment your conditions trigger. Set entries like MA crossovers, Supertrend flips, or Donchian breakouts, then let the engine manage risk.
Traders disagree on trend definitions, so the platform stays flexible. You can require price above MA200, ADX above 20, and a higher-high confirmation before entering. Add a time filter like only trade 4H candles, or only during the London-New York overlap. Rules stay readable, so you can audit every decision later.
On Coinrule you can run the same strategy logic across Binance, Kraken, Bybit, KuCoin and OKX without rebuilding it each time. Use per-exchange sizing, pair lists and safety limits. Funds stay on the exchange; the system connects via API keys.
Trend Entries And Smart Exits
Users often start with simple triggers like price crossing above MA50 while MA200 is rising. From there, they add confirmation such as volume above its 20-period average or a breakout above the last 20 candles. The goal is consistent execution, not perfect prediction.
Risk Rules Built In
Every rule can include guardrails like max open positions, per-trade risk caps and cooldown timers after a stop. You can also add portfolio constraints, for example never allocate more than 25 percent to one asset.
Supertrend Momentum
Enters long when Supertrend flips bullish on 4H candles and price is above MA200. Exits on a bearish flip or a 3 percent trailing stop. Optional filter: ADX above 20 to avoid chop.
Donchian Channel Turtle
Buys on a 20-day Donchian breakout and holds while the channel stays intact. Exits on a 10-day channel breakdown. Adds a fixed stop and a 30-day time stop if momentum fades.
ADX Trend Strength Filter
Enters only when ADX rises above 25 and price breaks the prior swing high. Takes partial profit at 6 percent and trails the rest by 2.5 percent. Skips new entries when ADX falls below 18.
MA Crossover with Volume Filter
Enters when MA20 crosses above MA50 and volume is 15 percent above its 20-period average. Exits on the reverse cross or a trailing take profit. Suits 1H to 4H timeframes.
ATR Channel Breakout
Buys when price closes above an ATR upper channel as volatility expands. Sets stop loss at 1.5x ATR below entry and trails as ATR rises. Avoids entries if spread exceeds your limit.
Supertrend Momentum
Enters long when Supertrend flips bullish on 4H candles and price is above MA200. Exits on a bearish flip or a 3 percent trailing stop. Optional filter: ADX above 20 to avoid chop.
Donchian Channel Turtle
Buys on a 20-day Donchian breakout and holds while the channel stays intact. Exits on a 10-day channel breakdown. Adds a fixed stop and a 30-day time stop if momentum fades.
ADX Trend Strength Filter
Enters only when ADX rises above 25 and price breaks the prior swing high. Takes partial profit at 6 percent and trails the rest by 2.5 percent. Skips new entries when ADX falls below 18.
MA Crossover with Volume Filter
Enters when MA20 crosses above MA50 and volume is 15 percent above its 20-period average. Exits on the reverse cross or a trailing take profit. Suits 1H to 4H timeframes.
ATR Channel Breakout
Buys when price closes above an ATR upper channel as volatility expands. Sets stop loss at 1.5x ATR below entry and trails as ATR rises. Avoids entries if spread exceeds your limit.
Volatility Targeted Trend
Sizes positions so each trade targets similar risk using ATR. Enters on higher-high confirmation and exits on a trailing stop that tightens after 10 percent profit. Built to smooth risk across pairs.
Perps Trend Follower
For perpetuals, enters when price breaks a 55-period high and funding is between -0.01 and 0.01. Exits on a 20-period low or a trailing stop. Adds max leverage and a liquidation buffer.
Higher High Confirmation Trend
Enters after two consecutive higher highs with price above MA100. Places a stop below the last swing low and ratchets it up after each new high. Exits if a lower low prints on the same timeframe.
Trailing Stop Runner
Starts with a breakout entry and attaches a 2 to 4 percent trailing stop. Takes a small partial exit at 5 percent, then lets the remainder run. Best for strong, clean trends.
Breakout + Retest
Buys after price breaks resistance, then retests within 1 percent and holds for two candles. Sets stop loss 2 percent below the retest low. Exits on a close back under the breakout level.
Unlike black-box tools, Coinrule makes each condition explicit so you can iterate quickly. Example: if BTC closes above MA200 and MA50 crosses above MA100 on 4H, buy 10 percent of available USDT. Add a second rule: if price rises 8 percent from entry, activate a 3 percent trailing stop. Define failure states too, like exit if price closes below MA100 for two candles.
Risk controls include stop loss, trailing take profit, max daily loss and position limits. You might cap exposure to 3 open trades, or limit any single coin to 15 percent allocation. Add a cooldown rule such as wait 6 hours after a stop before re-entering the same pair. This reduces overtrading during choppy regimes.
When volatility expands, trend systems often perform better than mean reversion. You can detect that with checks like ATR rising for 3 consecutive candles or ADX above 20. Example: trade only if the 20-day range is at least 12 percent, otherwise stay flat. Another approach is a regime switch: run breakouts when price is above MA200, and pause when price is below. Coinrule lets you schedule and toggle these modes without rewriting the core logic.
Templates give you a starting point, but the edge comes from tailoring. Clone a preset, change the timeframe, then adjust thresholds one at a time. Keep notes in your rule names, and compare behavior across pairs. For more ideas, see /templates and /automated-trading.

Spot strategies focus on entries, exits and sizing, while perps add leverage and funding considerations. If you trade perpetuals, set max leverage, liquidation buffers and a rule to avoid extreme funding. Keep the same signal logic, but tighten risk limits. Hyperliquid can fit well when you need fast execution.
Many traders obsess over entries and improvise exits. Define them upfront: a hard stop, a trailing stop and a condition-based exit like a close below MA50. Example: take 30 percent profit at +6 percent, then trail the rest by 3 percent. This structure can reduce emotional decisions during pullbacks.
Chop is the enemy of trend systems. Add filters like ADX below 18 equals no trade, or require price to be above MA200 for longs. You can also use a time stop, for example exit after 20 candles without a new high. These constraints often improve consistency more than adding indicators.
Single-bot performance is only part of the picture. Set portfolio rules such as max total exposure, stablecoin reserve targets and correlation-aware pair lists. Example: limit combined BTC and ETH exposure to 40 percent, or pause new entries if total drawdown exceeds 5 percent in 24 hours. This keeps automation aligned with your broader plan.
Treat each change like an experiment. Adjust one variable, run it for a defined period, then compare logs and outcomes. Scale by increasing size slowly or expanding to more pairs only after behavior stays stable. Consistency comes from process, not constant tinkering.
Create your first rule set, connect an exchange and start with a small allocation. Once you trust execution, expand to more markets and add regime filters. Coinrule keeps everything transparent so you can improve the system over time.
