The idea

Even strong coins fall sharply for short moments. Marlin waits for such a fall in a coin that has been rising, buys into it on a ladder of orders and sells once the price bounces, at a near target. Deeper dips get a larger size.

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

The win rate is high and the average win small, which is typical for this kind of trade. A single loss is larger than a typical win, so read it together with the profit factor and drawdown.

When it does well and badly

Good fit
  • Rising or calm markets with active coins
  • Sharp, short shakeouts that recover quickly
Poor fit
  • Long one-way falls, where dips keep going
  • Dead markets with little movement

In your dashboard

On Positions, Marlin shows as resting buy orders before a position opens: the ladder waits while a setup forms. Then you will usually see a position with a take-profit order on the exchange.
