        Bitcoin - Basic MACD Trading Strategy

================

Go long when the MACD crosses above the signal line, close out the position when it crosses back under. Vice versa for short positions (optional).

Example - Default MACD settings, Long only

==========================================

From a risk return perspective, this simple strategy seems to outperform buy and hodl in the long run.

``` r

source("config/Config.R")

btc.close <- FetchBTCInfo(param           = "market-price",   

                          data.identifier = "btc.close",
