About Bitcoin Trend 4H

Bitcoin Trend 4H trades BTC/USDT spot on Binance around the clock. It buys when the 4-hour close breaks above a Keltner channel with rising volume, trails a stop at twice the average true range, and sits in USDT between trends. It never uses leverage or futures.

How it works

  1. Builds a 20-period Keltner channel on 4-hour BTC/USDT candles.
  2. Buys when a candle closes above the upper band with volume above its 20-period average.
  3. Trails a stop at 2× ATR below the highest close since entry.
  4. Holds USDT when out of the market; spot only, no leverage.

White-box strategy: the provider discloses the rules above so you can judge the logic as well as the track record.

Risk notes

Bitcoin can fall 20% or more in days, and trend models give back part of their gains when trends end. Crypto is unregulated in India and is not offered to residents of the UAE or other Gulf countries.

Frequently asked questions

Can the strategy withdraw my crypto?

No. You connect Binance with an API key that can trade but not withdraw, so the strategy can only buy and sell in your own account.

Does it trade on weekends?

Yes. Crypto trades 24×7 and so does the strategy.

How do I subscribe to Bitcoin Trend 4H?

Choose a plan on the pricing page, link your broker account, set your allocation (minimum ₹50,000) and the algo starts placing orders from the next session. You pay ₹1,199 per month plus 20% of net monthly profit above the high-water mark.
