There is also functionality to adjust the bands for diminishing returns. Note, this should be used with great skepticism, as the adjustments were made by simple function fitting and not rigorous statistical processes.

Very clean strategy, this market environment filter for BTC is great for DCA as it does not start DCA at peaks which is a big bonus as DCA's tend to get liquidated at crashes after big peaks.
