Smart Portfolio: A Dynamic Crypto Rebalancing Strategy

What is Smart Portfolio?

The Smart Portfolio bot is an automated trading strategy designed to dynamically rebalance cryptocurrency holdings in a user-selected portfolio. By maintaining consistent allocation ratios across multiple crypto assets, it helps investors capitalize on market fluctuations while minimizing manual intervention.

Smart Portfolio Use Cases

Cryptocurrency markets exhibit asymmetric price movements, where some assets surge while others lag. The Smart Portfolio bot addresses this by:

  1. Gradually selling appreciating assets to lock in profits
  2. Automatically reinvesting proceeds into temporarily undervalued assets
  3. Maintaining optimal portfolio balance through market cycles

Practical Examples

Example 1: Proportional Rebalancing

Initial Setup:

Execution Phases:

  1. Initial Conversion:

    • 5 BTC @ $1,000 = $5,000
    • 6 ETH @ $500 = $3,000
    • 20 SOL @ $100 = $2,000
  2. Rebalancing Trigger:

    • BTC price rises to $1,500 (60% of portfolio)
    • Bot sells 0.833 BTC, buys 2.5 ETH + 5 SOL
    • New holdings: 4.167 BTC | 7.5 ETH | 25 SOL

Example 2: Scheduled Rebalancing

Initial Setup:

Execution Phases:

  1. Initial Conversion matches Example 1
  2. After 4 hours with BTC at $1,500:

    • Deviation exceeds 3% minimum
