A bitcoin trading system: the first swing high is the line
Four lines for BTCUSDT. Not a forex rule with a new ticker.
Direct answer
A bitcoin trading system names the symbol, permission, trigger, invalidation, and size. This page copies one public sitting: BTCUSDT, H1, File/csv, 2025-01-01.
Permission: BTCUSDT, H1. Crypto does not close on Friday. This sitting is not tied to a London open.
Trigger: the first completed three-bar swing. A swing high is a bar whose high is above both neighbors. A swing low is a bar whose low is below both neighbors. The first of those two that confirms is the line. 03:00 high 93,856.76, confirmed when 04:00 closed.
Invalidation: the first later bar through that swing high ends the sitting. 12:00 printed 93,915.00.
Size: write where you are wrong first. Size stayed 0.1. No ticket.
The record is The first swing high is the line. The method note is Write where you are wrong first. This page does not copy that lesson, and it does not paste the EURUSD first-hour range onto bitcoin.
How to judge
Three checks before the product pitch.
Does it serve BTC only? “Same as EURUSD” is not a system. This sitting is BTCUSDT. EURUSD has a different public sitting with a range rule.
Do the four lines carry this sitting’s numbers? If 93,856.76 and 93,915.00 are missing, it is not this page.
Is there a record? A “swing system” with no date and no OHLC lives in speech. Session complete: Trades 0, +0.00.

Who should skip
Skip it if you wanted an altcoin system. This sitting is BTCUSDT.
Skip it if you wanted the EURUSD first-hour range copied over. Different market, different rule.
Skip it if you wanted a hold-the-coin return table. This sitting scored the rule. It did not compare a spot bag.
Skip it if you wanted a live book. The bars are a file on the PC.

Frequently asked questions
Is 93,856.76 a buy price?
No. It is the first completed swing high, the invalidation line. There was no ticket.
Why not say the same rule fits EURUSD?
The EURUSD sitting used the first hour’s high and low. This sitting used the first swing’s outer edge. Both records are public. The rules stay apart.
