Short excerpt from a YouTube video by Kosta Ouzas describing how adding support/automation compressed the trading range for their bitcoin trading system, improving realized returns. He states the system previously produced roughly 10–15% per year and, after improvements, achieved about 5% per month (or slightly more), enabling more consistent performance and better risk/peace of mind compared with buy-and-hold approaches and many hedge funds.

Chapters

When you realize that you've got this support, what does that do for us? It compresses the trading range. What does that turn into? Increased performance. So we went from something that was doing maybe 10, 15% a year. Remember, trading bitcoin is always different to buy and hold. Remember, buy and hold. You've got to time tops and bottoms. When you're trading, you're realizing gains in real time, whether they're daily, weekly or monthly. So you know you're doing 10, 12, 15%. You're still doing better than most hedge funds, not in the top tier, but you're doing pretty well. That's 10, 12% a year is pretty damn good at the power law. Now we're talking 5% a month, even a little bit more. And that's what that did to our trading system. It enabled us to compress that trading range and really be able to sleep at night.
