Crypto investment strategy with market-adaptive positioning

A systematic multi-confluence approach to timing, positioning and risk control across the different phases of the crypto market.

Why active crypto asset management?

Crypto assets move in pronounced cycles and are often marked by high volatility, rapid shifts in liquidity and changing market regimes. A purely passive buy-and-hold approach accepts these considerable swings in full and can lead to massive (unrealised) losses in the interim. Bitcoin's annualised volatility has historically been above 40% – and considerably higher for altcoins.
Digital Estate therefore follows an active investment approach with market-adaptive trading strategies, in which market exposure and positioning can be adjusted to the prevailing regime.

Active crypto strategy: DEUS Alpha Quant

  1. Market structure

    Trend, structural breaks, highs and lows, and relevant dynamic price zones (VWAPs, POCs) form the basis for classifying the market regime.

  2. Liquidity & volume

    Cumulative volume delta, liquidity zones, depth of market (DOM) and order book delta help to assess impending moves and potential turning points.

  3. Quantitative models

    Rule-based and quantitative signals support a consistent assessment of the market environment, trading set-ups, risk allocation and position sizes.

  4. Time-cycle analysis

    Time and cycle models, including astrological timing models, are used as a complementary confluence component and help to identify relevant turning points.

Market-adaptive crypto strategy: long & short

The DEUS Alpha Quant strategy does not rely on crypto markets rising indefinitely. Depending on the market regime, it can use long and short positions as well as reduced or increased exposure. The aim is controlled participation in market moves (Volatility Farming), not permanently maximal exposure and market risk.

Trade execution by risk classification

A signal alone does not make a trade. Position size, stop-loss logic, liquidity, correlations and the portfolio's overall exposure and risk determine how an individual trading set-up is assessed and actually executed.

Implementing the strategy through individual mandates

The strategy can be implemented within individually managed Segregated Managed Accounts (SMA). This allows the risk profile and mandate parameters to be aligned with each investor.

For discerning investors with a long-term horizon.

Our approach is aimed exclusively at investors who regard crypto assets not as short-term speculation, but as an asset class to be actively managed within a diversified investment portfolio.
