“Trend-following strategies outperformed the median backtest by a factor of 2.6×, while mean-reversion modes underperformed in nearly every major pair.”
“Only 14% of completed bot configurations finished the period with a positive return greater than 20% — a sober reminder that backtesting is a filter, not a forecast.”
“BTCUSDT remains the most-tested pair on the platform, but SOLUSDT produced the highest average return per completed configuration in the latest period.”
“The risk-vs-reward scatter reveals a clear ceiling: no strategy delivered >40% return without a corresponding drawdown of at least 18%.”
“Grid-DCA configurations dominated the high-frequency band — averaging 3.4× more trades than trend-following modes, but with materially lower per-trade alpha.”
