# What is the difference between Updown strategy and BitBrokerTrade strategy?

The **Bitbrokertrade strategy** works with a MACD indicator (price trend calculation). He only buys when the rising price trend starts. He only sells when the price trend changes from rising to falling. This strategy works with price candles of 5 minutes.

**Updown strategy** follows the price with candles of 1 minute and buys every 1.5% price rise / fall (regardless of the price trend of that moment). Updown sells as soon as the target percentage is reached, unless the previous price candle is lower than the current one, then it waits for the next one (so if the price is rising, it waits for the highest point. Updown strategy also buys in a falling market.
