Instead of reacting to every candle, Trend following strategies on Coinrule let you define signals once and execute them consistently. For example, buy when price closes above MA200 and MA50 crosses up on 4H, then trail a stop at 3 percent below the highest close. Connect to Binance, Kraken, Bybit or OKX via API keys while keeping funds on the exchange.
Traders often lose the edge by changing plans mid-trend. Coinrule turns your idea into a checklist of conditions, position sizing and exits that run the same way every time. You can add filters like volume confirmation, time windows and cooldowns so the system avoids overtrading during noisy chop.
Templates give you a starting point, but the real value is customization. Clone a preset, swap indicators, and set precise thresholds like ADX above 20 or a breakout above the 20-day high. Then backtest logic with paper-style runs and refine before going live.
Trend Entries And Clean Exits
Users typically combine one trend trigger with one risk rule. A simple setup is: enter on a Donchian 20-day breakout, risk 1 percent per trade, and exit on a 10-day low or a trailing stop. This keeps decisions mechanical when volatility expands.
Risk Controls Built In
Coinrule includes guardrails like max open positions, per-asset exposure caps and portfolio drawdown stops. You can pause all rules instantly, or schedule trading hours to avoid low-liquidity periods. Every action is logged so you can review what happened and why.
Donchian Channel Turtle
Buys on a 20-day high breakout and sells on a 10-day low. Adds an ATR-based stop to limit downside. Works best on daily or 12H candles.
Volatility Targeted Trend
Sizes positions to target a fixed volatility level using ATR. Enters with the trend and reduces size when ATR rises. Exits with a trailing stop to lock gains.
Supertrend Momentum
Enters when Supertrend flips bullish on 4H and price holds above the line. Exits when it flips bearish or a trailing stop triggers. Adds a cooldown to reduce whipsaws.
MA Crossover with Volume Filter
Buys when MA50 crosses above MA200 and volume is above its 20-period average. Sells on the reverse cross or after 3 low-volume candles. Built for higher-conviction trends.
ADX Trend Strength Filter
Trades only when ADX is above 20 to confirm trend strength. Enters on higher-high confirmation and exits when ADX drops below 15. Helps avoid range-bound periods.

ADX Trend Strength Filter
Trades only when ADX is above 20 to confirm trend strength. Enters on higher-high confirmation and exits when ADX drops below 15. Helps avoid range-bound periods.
ATR Channel Breakout
Buys when price closes above an ATR channel upper band. Sets an initial stop at 2x ATR and trails as price advances. Uses 1H to 4H charts for faster signals.
Breakout + Retest
Enters after a breakout, then waits for a retest within 1 percent of the level. Confirms with a bullish close before buying. Exits on a close back below the level.
Trailing Stop Runner
Enters on a momentum trigger and focuses on exits. Trails take profit by 2 to 4 percent based on volatility. Cuts losers quickly with a fixed stop.
Ichimoku Cloud Break
Buys when price breaks above the cloud and Tenkan crosses above Kijun. Exits when price closes back into the cloud. Often used on 4H and daily charts.
Perps Trend Follower
Follows direction on perpetuals when funding is neutral and price is above MA200. Uses low leverage and a strict liquidation buffer. Exits on MA crossback or trailing stop.
Unlike rigid bots, Coinrule lets you assemble a trend workflow step by step. Start with a trigger like MA50 above MA200, then add a confirmation such as a close above the prior 20-day high. Next, define risk: allocate 2 percent per entry, cap total exposure at 20 percent, and set a stop at 1.8x ATR. Finally, automate exits with a trailing take profit that tightens from 4 percent to 2 percent once unrealized profit exceeds 10 percent. These components are easy to test, clone and iterate.
When volatility compresses, false breakouts increase. Add a choppy-market filter, a minimum volume condition, or a time stop that exits after 10 candles without progress. You can also require a higher-timeframe bias, like daily price above MA200, before taking 1H entries.
For crypto automation, many traders split liquidity across venues. Run the same rule on Binance and Kraken, or separate spot on Coinbase from perps on Hyperliquid. Coinrule keeps logic consistent while you control allocations per exchange and per asset.
Risk reviews get easier when every order has context. The platform records which condition fired, what price was used and which safeguard applied. That audit trail helps you refine thresholds instead of guessing.

Markets alternate between trend and range. Add a regime switch like ADX below 15 to disable entries, or require price above MA200 to trade long only. This keeps rules aligned with conditions that tend to favor momentum.
Instead of fixed sizes, scale exposure with ATR so the same rule behaves similarly across BTC, ETH and faster alts. Many traders risk 0.5 to 1 percent per trade based on stop distance. That makes results easier to compare across assets.
Use limit orders on retests and market orders on true breakouts when speed matters. Add slippage buffers and minimum liquidity checks for smaller tokens. These choices often decide whether execution feels smooth or frustrating.
On centralized exchanges, Coinrule connects via API keys with permissions you control. For on-chain execution, you can use smart accounts and session keys to limit what automation can do. Keep separate rules for spot, perps and on-chain routes when needed.
Clone a working rule and change one parameter, like MA lengths or trailing distance. Run both versions for two weeks, then keep the one with cleaner drawdowns. Iteration beats constant reinvention.
Start with a single market and timeframe, then expand once behavior is stable. Review logs weekly, tighten risk limits before increasing size, and document what each filter is meant to prevent. For more building blocks, see /automated-trading and /templates.
