"""
Buy pullbacks in uptrends, avoid catching falling knives.
Core fixes vs SimpleStrategy:
- Tight stoploss (-5 to -8%) — cuts losers FAST
- EMA trend filter — only buys when price is above EMA200
- ATR-based trailing — adapts to volatility
- RSI oversold entry — buys the dip, not the rip
Why this works better:
- BTC was profitable in SimpleStrategy (trend-friendly)
- Alts got wrecked by -22% stops in downtrends
- Filtering for uptrend + tight stops = asymmetric risk/reward
