Just wondering if I could get some help limiting downside risk on this algorithm .It buys on the first green bar of a Heikin Ashi if the trend is above the 5 ema. Timeframe is just short of 4 hour bars
If you guys have any ideas to limit downside risk id love to hear your opinions.

Hey, I don't know too much about trading crypto but maybe try implementing a condition that stops trading if the daily or 4hour ATR is higher than a certain percentage of the asset price. So say ATR is 200$ and ETHUSD is 2000$, then thats 10% and you could say stop trading until it returns to normal levels. You could also have a running average of this % value to know when the current environment is too volatile. Let me know if that helped or you had something entirely different in mind!
