The idea

Nobody can call the exact low. What can be recognised is a zone where an asset is cheap relative to its own history, and accumulation buys in steps through that zone: small on shallow falls, larger on deep ones.

Backtested and hypothetical, not achieved with real capital. Past results do not promise future ones.

Each row is one market cycle: the asset's low and the average price paid. The closer the two are, the better. There is no win rate here because positions are not closed trade by trade.

When it does well and badly

Good fit
  • Long horizons and patience through bear markets
  • Assets you want to own anyway
Poor fit
  • Quick results
  • Assets that never recover

Choose the assets and amounts when you attach the style. You will see holdings and plans on Portfolio. It can sit idle for a long time, because outside a buying zone there is nothing to do.

we can trade, never withdraw

Tarvis provides software tools that execute strategies you select and configure on your own exchange account via a trade-only key. It is not investment, financial, legal or tax advice, and Tarvis does not take custody of, manage, or exercise discretion over your money — you make all trading and allocation decisions and can stop the platform at any time. Trading crypto assets and derivatives involves substantial risk, including the total loss of capital; no strategy is guaranteed and past or hypothetical performance is not indicative of future results. Tarvis is not available where prohibited by law, and you are solely responsible for determining your eligibility to use it and any exchange in your jurisdiction.
