## Strategies Available

- **Momentum**: Ride the strongest price trends using 24h/7d returns and volume acceleration.
- **Mean Reversion**: Contrarian approach — buy oversold, sell overbought, confirmed by CVD divergence.
- **Funding Carry**: Earn funding payments from crowded trades. Negative carry = free income.
- **Smart Momentum**: Momentum enhanced with funding rate and CVD confirmation.
- **OI Momentum**: Follow rising open interest as signal of fresh capital entering positions.
- **CVD Momentum**: Price momentum confirmed by taker volume flow (cumulative volume delta).
- **CVD Divergence**: Pure contrarian — spot hidden buying when price falls but takers are net buying.
- **Risk Parity**: Equal risk contribution per position using covariance-aware weighting.
- **HRP Momentum**: Hierarchical Risk Parity — correlation-based clustering for better diversification.
- **Beta-Neutral**: Zero net market beta — pure alpha extraction independent of BTC direction.
- **All-Weather Ensemble**: Multi-strategy blend that adapts to any market regime.
- **Low Volatility**: Defensive strategy prioritizing lowest-volatility assets.
- **Trend Following**: Longer-term 7-day momentum with volume confirmation.
