# Example Strategy 1: Momentum Breakout Strategy

### **Strategy Overview**

This strategy is designed to detect early-stage **breakouts fueled by conviction and momentum**. It uses a combination of price change, Open Interest (OI), Volume Delta, and real USD trading volume to identify moments when aggressive buyers or sellers begin to dominate the market. These breakouts often lead to rapid price continuation.

### **Alert Configuration**

To set up this breakout alert in **ErkeScan**:

1. Navigate to the **Alerts** section in the Web Dashboard.
2. Select **"Create an Alert"**
3. Configure the following parameters:

| Parameter                   | Condition | Value        |
| --------------------------- | --------- | ------------ |
| **Change 15m**              | `>`       | `1.5`        |
| **OI Change 15m**           | `>`       | `2`          |
| **Vdelta 15m**              | `>`       | `1,000,000`  |
| **Volume 15m**              | `>`       | `$5,000,000` |
| _(Optional)_ Volatility 15m | `<`       | `0.5`        |
| _(Optional)_ Funding Rate   | `<=`      | `0.01`       |

### **Example Scenario**

Imagine a token suddenly jumps by 1.7% in 15 minutes. At the same time:

* Open Interest spikes by +3%
* Volume Delta is heavily positive (buying aggression)
* Volume traded hits $7M in 15 minutes

This indicates **institutional or whale participation** — a strong confirmation that the breakout is valid. ErkeScan will trigger the alert.

### **Trading Approach**

1. **Receive alert** for breakout setup
2. Open the chart — confirm price is breaking a key level (e.g., resistance or consolidation zone)
3. Enter a position in the direction of the breakout
4. Set **stop-loss** slightly below (for longs) or above (for shorts) the last consolidation
5. Set **take profit** using previous highs/lows or use a 1:2 or 1:3 RR model

### **Backtesting Results**

Backtested across 50+ major tokens from July to December 2024:

* ✅ Win rate: **71%**
* 💰 Average Risk-Reward: **1:2.7**
* 📈 Best performance during high market volatility (e.g., CPI days, FOMC)

### **Pro Tips**

* Avoid during dead market hours (e.g., early Asian session)
* Strongest results on **MEXC**, **Binance**, and **Bybit** tokens with $100M+ market cap
* Confirm with chart structure (no fakeout wicks)
