Since the launch of Cointelegraph Markets Pro — which puts professional intelligence on the cryptocurrency markets within the reach of all investors — lThe platform has helped thousands of subscribers to better understand the opportunities and threats inherent in the world of investing and trading cryptocurrencies.
In this roundup, we want to draw attention to some highlights since the launch of the platform, including a critical look at a variety of proven strategies that the Markets Pro team follows.
Cointelegraph Markets Pro consists of two unique research features—VORTECS™ Score and NewsQuakes™—plus a wide variety of market performance metrics and access to a vibrant community of cryptocurrency enthusiasts on Discord.
VORTECS™ Score
The VORTECS™ Score is derived from an algorithm that examines multiple variables, such as sentiment, tweet volume, price volatility, and trading volume, and compares them to historically similar market conditions.
The algorithm is capable of analyzing millions of historical data points each day, comparing what is happening right now with previous conditions for the 418 assets and count currently being tracked.
A high VORTECS™ Score suggests that the current market conditions in all the variables analyzed are similar to the conditions of the past, when the asset appreciated during the following days.. The higher the score, the more consistent the asset’s price behavior has been in the past.
History does not repeat itself, but it often rhymes. The VORTECS™ Score was created to provide all cryptocurrency market participants with high-quality quantitative analysis that until now was only available to large institutional investors.
NewsQuakes™
NewsQuakes™ is an indicator that offers real-time alerts generated by the events that most affect coin prices. These include exchange listings, betting announcements, and associations.
Our research has found that exchange announcements, staking announcements, and partnership announcements have had the most consistent positive impact.
NewsQuakes™ is built on SigDev technology, owned by The Tie, the most comprehensive and convenient digital asset information platform for real-time tracking of market-moving news in the cryptocurrency space.
SigDev is used by major hedge funds, over-the-counter trading desks, market makers, and other institutional market participants to gain an advantage. In addition to financial institutions, news outlets like Cointelegraph use The Tie’s SigDev platform to identify breaking news from primary sources.
NewsQuakes™ are delivered both to the browser via Discord alerts and directly to the phone via the Markets Pro mobile app. Among the most prominent NewsQuakes™ are new exchange listings.
For example, Since the launch of our NewsQuakes™ indicator in January 2021, buying and holding a token for one hour after its listing on NewsQuakes™ has generated a whopping 12,000% return!
Some notable NewsQuakes™ from last month include our alert on the Mask Network (MASK) following the announcement that MASK would be listed on Binance.
The yellow dot illustrates when the alert was sent to community members… Just four days after the alert, MASK rose from $2.67 to a high of $3.93.
Similarly, Three NewsQuake alerts were sent to our clients on Marinade (MNDE), the last two generated an overnight move of $0.07 to a high of $0.30, resulting in an intraday move of 307%.
That is, if you had invested $1,000 in this alert, you would have had $3,070 at the end of the day.
$10,000? $30,700!
VORTECS™ Performance
Since the algorithm’s launch on January 5, 2021, Cointelegraph Markets Pro has tracked the performance of 45 different trading strategies every hour for a rolling week and cumulative history.
Trading strategies are divided into two groups: time-based and score-based.
In each case, Markets Pro tracks the performance of the VORTECS™ Score against the US dollar, Bitcoin (BTC) and an evenly weighted basket of the top 100 altcoins, all to ensure the score is tested against broader market movements.
temporary strategies
Time-based strategies involve tracking the performance of a crypto-asset from the moment its VORTECS™ Score crosses a key threshold until a specified period of time elapses, for example, Buy 80/Sell 168 hours or Buy 90/Sell 24 hours.
From early 2021 to now, the 13 time-based winning strategies tracked by Markets Pro have averaged 546.35% gains. By comparison, a buy and hold BTC strategy suffered a 39.44% loss, and a similar strategy with the top 100 altcoins returned 190.15%.
The most successful of these strategies has been the Buy 80/Sell 24 hour strategy, which has returned 1,123.46% since early 2021!
Even the least successful time-based strategy, Buy 80/Sell 168 hours, returned 290.70%.
Score-Based Strategies
Score-based strategies involve tracking the performance of a crypto asset from the time its VORTECS™ Score crosses one key threshold until it reaches another key threshold, for example, Buy 80/Sell 75 or Buy 90/Sell 65.
The 12 score-based winning strategies followed by Markets Pro produced an average return of 2,895.49%, eclipsing the 190.15% return achieved by buying and holding the top 100 altcoins on the market by a factor of 15.
The most successful of these strategies has been the Buy 80/Sell 20 score, which has returned 21,010.61% since early 2021!
Even the least successful score-based strategy, Buy 85/Sell 85, has returned 263.63%. Clearly, even the worst-performing score-based strategy outperformed buy-and-hold strategies for BTC and the top 100 altcoins in the market.
