Bitfinex Shorts Strat

Script from: TradingViewSwingTrend followingMomentumVolume

This day-trading strategy leverages BITFINEX:USDSHORTS data combined with the RSI indicator to signal SHORT/LONG positions. It capitalizes on Bitfinex's smart money movements by shorting assets when shorts rise and going long when they fall. Optimal on 4-hour charts, it's unique in its focus on shorts due to disproportionate long trends on the platform. Despite needing refinement and caution against standalone use, it offers valuable insights into whale behavior.
