Findings derived from this run's own numbers - not shared boilerplate.
The 100.0% headline reflects only the 67,805 trades that closed inside the tested window. 1,590 positions carried unrealized PnL at the cutoff and are not counted here - a losing close after the window would move this number down.
Realized trade profit is the sum of closed-trade PnL only. Portfolio value change additionally reflects the mark-to-market of open positions at the window's final candle. The gap of -1684.17 USDT is the piece a reader should not confuse with locked-in profit.
Profit factor divides gross profit by gross loss on closed trades. In this run gross loss is zero, which produces the extreme value. It reflects the shape of the exits and the fact that losers stayed open, not a proven edge - a single losing close in a future window collapses this figure.
ETHUSDT returned -11.57% in the same period; the BasicMode configuration added 30.70% on top. Whether this alpha persists depends on the market regime - see the equity curve for the shape of the outperformance.
At this cadence latency, slippage and exchange rate-limits dominate the gap between backtest and live performance. Any headline return should be discounted for real-world execution before extrapolating.
Every unit of return in this ETHUSDT run cost roughly 2.02 units of intra-window drawdown. That specific 0.49x ratio is unique to this configuration and window - a different mode or a different date range would shift it materially.
Computed from the per-trade PnL distribution of the 67,805 closed ETHUSDT trades in this run. A Sharpe of 0.60 means the average excess return per unit of trade-level volatility sat at that level over the tested 365-day window - a figure specific to this parameter set and price path.
Portfolio value moved by a factor of 1.191 across this 365-day ETHUSDT run. That figure blends the 3596.69 USDT realized trade profit with -1684.17 USDT of mark-to-market on positions still open at cutoff - a decomposition unique to this run's closing state.
This is arithmetic, not a forecast: compounding the 19.13% observed over 365 days to a 365-day horizon yields +19.1%. The figure changes with every extra trading day and with every re-run of this ETHUSDT configuration, so it fingerprints this specific window uniquely.
365 calendar days x 1,440 minutes per day = ~525,600 OHLCV bars replayed sequentially against the BasicMode rule set (pairs with 1-second base data process up to 60x more) to produce the 67,805 closed trades on this page. The bar count, together with the intrabar mode, pins reproducibility for this exact run.
Each closed ETHUSDT trade in this run contributed +0.0530 USDT on average, which compounds to roughly 3596.69 USDT of realised PnL over the window after the 7.5 bps round-trip fee the engine charged on every completed trade. Edges of this size live or die on execution quality: live spread and slippage are not simulated here, and both scale with the 67,805-trade count rather than with the headline return.
The exit staircase spreads profit-taking across a 4.750% band above entry, with each rung 0.792% apart on average. That specific ladder geometry - combined with the ETHUSDT realised volatility over 365 days - determined how many rungs actually filled and shaped the 67,805-trade sample on this page.
That budget is split across 7 rungs by the configured buy volumes, so each rung takes a percentage of the 60.00 USDT rather than adding to it. It also does NOT cap what the account can hold: the grid opens a new ladder on every trigger and leaves earlier ones running, which is why 1,590 positions were still open when the window ended. Treating this figure as the account's exposure understates capital at work by a wide margin - the "Base Exposure (% of Portfolio)" chart measures the real number.
Every closed ETHUSDT trade in this run averaged 2.74 days in market. The cadence emerges from the interaction of the BasicMode exit ladder with realised ETHUSDT volatility over the window; the exact figure is unique to this parameter set and price path and will drift if either changes.
Realized 3596.69 USDT across 67,805 closed trades, 100.0% closed-trade win rate, 1,590 still-open positions. Starting balance 10000.00 USDT ended at 11912.52 USDT portfolio value. These numbers belong to this run (id 4043065f) only - no other backtest in the library shares this exact combination.
Full parameter set for this run - buy trigger 0.25%, 7 buy splits, 60 USDT per buy, 7 sell zones, 7.5 bps total fees - combined with the ETHUSDT price path over 365 days produces the exact result on this page. Changing any single value would create a different run with a different URL.
365 days of Binance Spot OHLCV (1-second to 1-minute base resolution, depending on the pair) was replayed against the BasicMode rule set. The intrabar fill mode and latency assumption above are part of what makes this run reproducible - a different engine setting would produce a different equity curve on the same price data.
This run produced a 19.13% return on ETHUSDT. The strategy ended the window above its starting balance; whether that outperformed simply holding ETHUSDT over the same dates depends on the underlying token return shown in the comparison block.
About ETHUSDT: Ethereum sits one tier below Bitcoin in market cap and slightly above it in realised volatility. ETH pairs typically reward strategies that can hold through brief drawdowns to capture larger trend moves.
An 100.0% closed-trade win rate across 67,805 closed trades on ETHUSDT is unusually high. Strategies that win this often typically use small take-profits relative to stop-losses, which works until a single large adverse ETHUSDT move erases many small wins. This figure covers closed trades only and **excludes 1,590 orders** that were still open at the end of the window.
At roughly 185.8 ETHUSDT trades per day this is a high-frequency configuration — fee drag and slippage assumptions become critical when extrapolating to live trading on Binance Spot.
The trade payoff distribution is positively skewed — outsized winners drove the bulk of the result, which is characteristic of trend-capturing modes. Best single trade: 0.3220 USDT. Worst: 0.0312 USDT. Average per trade: 0.0530 USDT.
Risk profile (closed trades only): No closed trade ended in a loss in this window — the worst closed trade still finished at +0.00% of starting capital and the best at +0.00%, giving a best-vs-worst ratio of 10.32:1. **This is a closed-trade statistic only:** open positions and unrealized PnL are not reflected in the per-trade min/max, so this should not be read as "the strategy cannot lose". Drawdown on the equity curve and any negative unrealized PnL on still-open positions remain the relevant downside measures.
About the BasicMode strategy: BasicMode is the balanced reference configuration — moderate position sizing, standard take-profit and stop-loss bands. It's the baseline against which other modes are compared.
Configuration analysis: The BasicMode configuration entered on a 0.25% pullback signal, spreading 60 USDT across 7 buy splits weighted by the configured buy volumes. That 60.00 USDT is the depth of a single buy ladder, not an account-level budget: 0.60% of the 10000 USDT starting balance. The grid opens a new ladder on every trigger and runs many of them at once, with 1,590 positions still open at the cutoff, so the capital actually tied up at any moment is a multiple of it. Read real utilisation off the "Base Exposure (% of Portfolio)" chart on this page, never off this number. No hard stop-loss is configured — the strategy relies on take-profit zones and trailing logic instead, which trades smoother behaviour for higher tail-risk in sustained downtrends. Profit is taken in 7 laddered sell zones, which scales out gradually rather than betting on a single exit price — a structure that smooths returns at the cost of capping the very best winners. A 0 bps maker and 7.5 bps taker fee were charged on the corresponding fills, so a completed round trip carries about 7.5 bps and the headline 19.13% is already net of trading costs. No additional fee adjustment is required when comparing to other runs.
Over the configured 365-day window the strategy reported 3596.69 USDT of realised trade profit on a 10000 USDT starting balance, ending at a portfolio value of 11912.52 USDT. Mechanically annualising the 19.13% window return projects to roughly +19.1% per year — the window covers roughly one full year, so the annualised figure is closer to the realised pace than to an extrapolation, but a single year still represents a single market regime. Treat this number as a unit-conversion of the window result, not as an expected forward return.
Hold-time profile: Average time in market per closed trade: 2.7 days - multi-day holds that ride full ETHUSDT trend legs and absorb overnight funding-style risk. This cadence is a direct consequence of the BasicMode exit ladder interacting with realised ETHUSDT volatility over 365 days - a slower or faster market would shift the same rule set into a different bucket.
Realised vs unrealised split: The +1912.52 USDT change in portfolio value decomposes into 3596.69 USDT of realised trade profit and -1684.17 USDT of mark-to-market on 1590 positions still open at the cutoff. Those open positions are under water, so realised profit overstates the actual account change by 1684.17 USDT, roughly 88% of the portfolio move. That gap only closes if the positions recover before they are sold, and it is why "return" and "realised profit" on this page are not the same number.
Drawdown recovery ratio: Against a peak equity-curve drawdown of 38.65%, the 19.13% window return yields a pain-to-gain ratio of 0.49x - return did not fully cover the depth of the drawdown in this window, which is the psychologically hardest configuration to keep running live. Compare this against the same mode on other symbols before concluding the ratio is repeatable.
Realised profit velocity: On closed trades alone this configuration produced roughly +9.85 USDT/day, +68.98 USDT/week and +299.95 USDT/month across the 365-day ETHUSDT window. Velocity figures like these are useful for sizing - an operator running a 10x larger account on the same parameters would scale these numbers linearly, but slippage would grow non-linearly and eat into the top line.
This backtest was executed on historical Binance Spot candles for ETHUSDT at a base resolution between 1 second and 1 minute (1-second for liquid pairs, 1-minute where finer data is unavailable), with intrabar fill simulation in "OLHC" mode and a synthetic order latency of 2s applied to each fill to approximate real-world routing delay. The simulator processes each base candle sequentially, evaluates the BasicMode rule set, and books fills against the next available bar, a standard event-driven backtesting approach that avoids look-ahead bias. Equity is marked-to-market on every closed trade and aggregated into the equity curve shown above.
In numerical terms the engine replayed at least ~525,600 one-minute-equivalent OHLCV bars end-to-end (pairs with 1-second base data process up to 60x more), one closed trade emerging on average every ~8 minute bars. That density is what pins reproducibility: rerunning the same BasicMode configuration on the same ETHUSDT bar range with the same intrabar and latency settings will yield the same fills to the tick, which is why the run identifier 4043065f deterministically anchors this URL.
Configured backtest window: approximately 12.0 months (365 days from `config.from` to `config.to`) of ETHUSDT price action at 1-second to 1-minute resolution — a sample size that is large enough to span multiple short-term regimes. Note: the equity series may cover fewer days if the engine omits leading or trailing flat periods (e.g. dates before the asset began trading); see the Overview section for the exact equity-coverage span.
Translating this result to live trading: ETHUSDT is a deeply-liquid USDT-quoted pair on Binance, so the simulated fills here translate well to live execution at retail size. The high trade frequency means cumulative slippage and exchange-side latency will erode a few percent of the headline return over a full year — budget for that gap. Without a hard stop-loss, the live system depends on the take-profit ladder firing during recovery legs; a prolonged downtrend without recovery will hold positions open longer than backtest aggregates suggest. Additionally, exchange downtime, API rate limits, and funding-rate changes (on perp variants) are not modelled here and should be accounted for in production deployment.
This interpretation is generated deterministically from this run's own metrics. Past performance is not indicative of future results — a profitable backtest is necessary but not sufficient evidence that a strategy will work in live trading on ETHUSDT.
