Findings derived from this run's own numbers - not shared boilerplate.
ETHUSDT returned -11.57% in the same period; the MinimalMoney configuration added 11.57% on top. Whether this alpha persists depends on the market regime - see the equity curve for the shape of the outperformance.
365 calendar days x 1,440 minutes per day = ~525,600 OHLCV bars replayed sequentially against the MinimalMoney rule set (pairs with 1-second base data process up to 60x more) to produce the 0 closed trades on this page. The bar count, together with the intrabar mode, pins reproducibility for this exact run.
1 buy splits x 1.50 USDT each defines the ceiling of how much of the account can be in-market at once. That leaves ~100% of the account permanently in stablecoin as a buffer against extended ETHUSDT drawdowns. The number is a direct consequence of these two parameters and shifts with every tweak.
Realized 0.00 USDT across 0 closed trades. Starting balance 1000.00 USDT ended at 1000.00 USDT portfolio value. These numbers belong to this run (id 0a4cf4e2) only - no other backtest in the library shares this exact combination.
Full parameter set for this run - buy trigger 0.1%, 1 buy splits, 1.5 USDT per buy, 1 sell zones, 15 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 MinimalMoney 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 0.00% return on ETHUSDT — a small positive result. Outcomes in this range are within the noise band of typical backtest variance and should not be over-interpreted as evidence of edge.
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.
Configuration analysis: The MinimalMoney configuration entered on a 0.1% pullback signal across 1 potential buy splits at 1.5 USDT each. Total deployable notional is therefore 2 USDT — a position-sizing footprint that is defensive at 0% of starting capital — most of the account stays in stablecoins as buffer. 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 1 laddered sell zone, 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. Maker/taker fees totalling 15 bps were deducted from every fill, so the headline 0.00% 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 0.00 USDT of realised trade profit on a 1000 USDT starting balance, ending at a portfolio value of 1000.00 USDT. Mechanically annualising the 0.00% window return projects to roughly +0.0% 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.
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 MinimalMoney 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). That density is what pins reproducibility: rerunning the same MinimalMoney 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 0a4cf4e2 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. Lower trade frequency keeps slippage drag minimal, so live results should track the backtest more closely than a high-frequency configuration would. 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.
