The 7 Core Trading Strategy Logics

Introduction

In the world of crypto trading, strategies may vary in indicators, timeframes, or execution styles, but most of them rely on a handful of underlying logics. On CopyTradia, every strategy is categorized into one of seven core logics, to help:

• clarify the structure behind each method,

• compare different styles more easily,

• and bring consistency across forum discussions.

Each logic is also assessed based on its presence in copy trading, with three key factors:adoption frequency, ease of replication, and risk level.

1. Continuation

Enter during an active trend, typically after a pause or minor pullback.Goal: follow the market's direction without trying to catch tops or bottoms.

• Presence in copy trading : Very high

• Ease of copying : High

• Risk : Low to moderate

• Note : Well-suited to structured systems. Many copy trading leaders use this logic around sustained trends (e.g., BTC, ETH).

2. Range / Oscillation

Trade between horizontal boundaries, buying low and selling high within a sideways market.Goal: profit from repeated reversals between support and resistance.

• Presence in copy trading : High

• Ease of copying : High

• Risk : Moderate

• Note : Works well with semi-automated strategies or intraday bots, especially in calm market phases.

3. Rebound

Enter at key technical levels, such as support or resistance, after a price rejection.Goal: capture short-term bounces or quick reactions without waiting for confirmation.

• Presence in copy trading : Frequent

• Ease of copying : Medium

• Risk : Moderate to high

• Note : Often used in altcoin trading. Requires tight management but can yield fast entries.

4. Retest

Wait for price to return to a broken level, then enter once the level holds.Goal: confirm the breakout and avoid false signals.

• Presence in copy trading : Moderate

• Ease of copying : Moderate

• Risk : Moderate

• Note : Often used as an added condition or filter. Less visible but common in robust setups.

5. Reversal

Try to catch the beginning of a new trend, when market structure shows signs of change.Goal: enter early in a directional shift (bullish to bearish or vice versa).

• Presence in copy trading : Rare

• Ease of copying : Low

• Risk : High

• Note : Demands strong market reading. Often avoided in copy setups due to higher risk and lower reliability.

6. Breakout

Enter as price breaks through a major technical level, such as support, resistance, or chart pattern.Goal: ride the momentum triggered by a clean breakout.

• Presence in copy trading : Low

• Ease of copying : Low

• Risk : High

• Note : Difficult to replicate in time. Breakouts often occur too fast for delayed execution in copy systems.

7. Anticipation

Enter before a signal is confirmed, based on structure or momentum context.

Goal : gain an edge with earlier entries, accepting more risk.

• Presence in copy trading : Very low

• Ease of copying : Very low

• Risk : High

• Note : Rare and speculative. Difficult to follow or explain in a copy trading environment.
