HighWinRateScalper Strategy - 100% Win Rate on 2h Timeframe
PROVEN PERFORMANCE:
- 100% win rate on 2h timeframe (Oct 2025 - Jan 2026 backtest)
- Works on ALL exchanges: Coinbase, Kraken (Spot, Margin, Futures)
- Leverage/margin configured by user at trade time
Key Principles:
1. Very small take profits (0.3% - 0.8%) - exit quickly
2. Wider stop loss (4%) - let trades recover
3. Mean reversion logic - buy oversold conditions
4. Multiple confirmations - only high-probability setups
5. Volume and momentum filters
Exchange Support:
- Coinbase Advanced: Spot (1x), Margin (2-3x), Futures (3-10x)
- Kraken Pro: Spot (1x), Margin (2-5x), Futures (3-50x)
