Hi, thanks for your comment.

This article wasn't about how to trade or technical indicators. It was to give an example of the testing I put my crypto trading bot through.

I have however written loads of articles on how technical indicators, candlesticks and machine learning techniques work. If you look at the other articles I've written you will find them.

I've literally tested thousands of strategies over various markets over years of historical data. I agree that EMA on its own is useless. You need a momentum indicator like MACD in comparison. RSI is totally useless with crypto. Crypto markets will always be massively oversold or massively underbought. You never really have a middle phase like other traditional trading. I think OBV and Elderay Bull/Bear indicators work best with crypto markets. These are the ones my bot uses and has really good performance. Look at the last article I posted with my last 30 day results.

I recommend reading my articles on programatic technical indicators, candlestick trading, machine learning and AI, and even my bot which is open source and freely available to people to use and learn from. I'm also happy to answer questions if anyone has any.

I do appreciate your feedback and comments though. Always nice to hear a different point of view.
