Overall

Fast Momentum Factor is a measure of the momentum of an asset, calculated based on a range different lookback periods.

Leveraged positions and stop-loss orders create cascading buy/sell pressure. For example:

Rising prices trigger margin calls on short positions, forcing liquidations that accelerate upward momentum
Falling prices similarly amplify downward moves via long-position liquidations
Fast Momentum indicators detect these feedback loops early, as they manifest in abrupt price-rate changes on intraday charts

Cryptocurrency valuations often depend on viral adoption cycles and developer activity spikes. Faster Momentum indicators:

Detect early accumulation phases before network growth becomes public knowledge
Identify "hot" assets benefiting from protocol upgrades or partnerships not yet priced in
Studies show crypto momentum strategies generate alpha in 7-30 day windows, aligning with typical news dissemination lags

Predictive factors are designed to be translated into simple long-only strategy, with simulated past performance:

100% Long when the predictive factor is close to 1, with a position size equivalent to the predictive factor value.
Flat when the predictive factor is close to 0, with a position size equivalent to the predictive factor value.

The strategy is rebalanced daily, on a continuous basis. There are 0.05% transaction costs applied on each position adjustment.
