| Higher-timeframe filter (optional) | 200 day SMA |
Trigger
Not set.

Strengths
- Simple, rule‑based approach reduces emotional bias
- Adds extra buying pressure when price is relatively low
- Limits overall crypto exposure to a modest percentage of net worth
- No leverage or stop‑losses keeps the plan low‑risk on a per‑trade basis
Risks
- Doubling purchases in prolonged downtrends can lock a large portion of the 10% cap in a falling asset
- Never selling may miss opportunities to lock in gains or protect against long‑term declines
- If the 10% cap is hit, future purchases may be forced to stop, breaking the rule
- Fixed weekly amount may be too small to benefit from occasional large price moves
