STRATIQ Core

Core is designed to help you build a long-term Bitcoin position with structure. It combines two equally important signals: Tactical DCA value zones and a long-term trend probability signal.

How it was designed to be read

Core is designed for spot investing and structured positioning. It is meant to be read as a set of clear signals that guide consistent actions over time.

Tactical DCA value zones (Z-score)

Tactical DCA uses a normalized Z-score structure to highlight statistically favorable value zones and overheated zones. High-value zones typically appear around -1.5 to -2.0. Overheated zones typically appear around +1.5 to +2.0.

  • High-value zone: supports Tactical DCA accumulation
  • Overheated zone: supports reducing exposure and/or taking profits, depending on your structure

Long-term trend probability signal

This signal is designed to show the long-term state of the market and provide clear thresholds for action. It can be used independently for conservative positioning, or layered with Tactical DCA to increase capital efficiency.

Thresholds (bullish side)

  • 0.0 = Neutral: hold and prepare to take action
  • +0.2 = Entry level: bullish signal
  • +0.5 = Stronger bullish confirmation level
  • +1.0 = Full consensus between all data inputs. A +1 reading may reflect either bullish continuation or a transition toward mean-reverting conditions, depending on the broader market state.

Thresholds (bearish side)

  • -0.2 = Bearish signal: preference is to cut all positions as this was the intended threshold for cutting. Holding past here may incur unnecessary risk.
  • -0.5 = Stronger bearish confirmation level
  • -1.0 = Full consensus between all data inputs. A -1 reading may reflect either bearish continuation or a transition toward mean-reverting conditions, depending on the broader market state.

How users apply the long-term trend probability indicator

Standalone use

Invest only when the signal turns bullish (from +0.2), and cut all positions when the signal turns bearish (−0.2).

Layered use

When layered with the DCA system, stop DCA when the signal turns bullish and deploy remaining capital according to your structure. Cut all positions when the signal turns bearish (−0.2).

Important note

Signals are finalized after the UTC 00:00 close and published following manual review.
Please allow up to 1–2 hours for approval and distribution to the dashboards.
STRATIQ signals are designed to be acted on each day immediately after release; delayed execution may result in reduced signal efficiency as market conditions evolve and may incur losses in capital.
