A short segment of a YouTube talk by Kosta Ouzas about algorithmic Bitcoin trading. The speaker explains using Giovanni's algorithm to determine market-cycle position (accumulate when below the 'power mean', rebalance when significantly above it) and contrasts this with the Minotaur algorithm, which profits from volatility rather than a straight rising market.
Most of us are using Bitcoin because we're using Giovanni's algorithm in order to know where we are in the cycle. So when we're below the power mean, we're accumulating Bitcoin, and when we're significantly above that, we'll rebalance. So, you know, half of us is wanting the Bitcoin price to go up, right? We're cheering it, we want it to go up, we've gotten to go up. But when we deploy the Minotaur algorithm, it's actually. Which is so counterintuitive, we actually make less money when it's going in a straight line up. We want the market to be volatile, right? Because what we're doing essentially is capturing volatility. That's. That's what our algorithm is doing.
