Three strategy presets covering 60+ crypto assets, with over 3,000+ backtested trades over 7 years. Multi-timeframe, regime-adaptive, conviction-rated. Every signal earns its place — or gets rejected.
1 Feb 15 – Mar 31, 2020
2 Jan – Dec 2022
3 Jan 2025 – present
Three strategies, one engine. Growth maximizes returns with fixed position sizing. Balanced adds dynamic, drawdown-adaptive sizing for a smoother ride. Conservative tightens entry thresholds for fewer but higher-conviction trades. All three trade across 60+ assets simultaneously, going long in strength and short in weakness. The portfolio approach doesn't just outperform on the upside — it protects capital when markets turn.
Backtest assumptions: 3% portfolio risk per trade, 3x leverage, isolated margin. Fees: 0.05% per trade + est. 0.03%/day funding. Signals exit on counter-signal. Walk-forward validated (trained 2019–2023, tested 2024–2026). Regime-adaptive thresholds. Sunday signals excluded. All performance data is based on Binance Perpetual Futures (USDT-margined) historical price data.
Past performance is not indicative of future results. These are backtested figures, not live. Actual results will differ due to slippage, liquidity, and execution.

Honest Assessment
Strengths and limitations
We believe in full transparency. Here's what the engine does well and where the risks lie.
▲ Strengths
Walk-forward validated: trained on 2019–2023, tested on unseen 2024–2026 data
Regime-adaptive, generating positive returns across both bull and bear markets
Three presets for different risk appetites — from aggressive Growth to capital-preserving Conservative
Daily timeframe signals require weekly and monthly timeframe support for execution
Funding rate and BTC market structure adjustments filter noise and improve timing
Consistent edge across both Longs and Shorts in both bull and bear markets
Drawdown-adaptive position sizing reduces exposure during losing streaks, keeping drawdowns manageable and helping traders stay disciplined through adverse periods
Portfolio developed to work across all major large-cap and altcoins (>60 assets) with no single-asset concentration risk
▼ Limitations
~35% win rate — most trades lose. The edge comes from winners being significantly larger than losers (R:R 2.1–2.9). Requires patience and discipline
Exits on counter-signal only — no trailing stops or early profit-taking. This is by design: cutting winners early or taking profits too soon destroys the statistical edge, as many initially losing trades reverse into winners
Monthly returns can be volatile — individual months have seen drawdowns up to -14%. However, the portfolio approach and regime-adaptive sizing limit sustained damage
Growth preset has significant drawdowns (-59%) — not suitable for conservative capital. Conservative preset limits this to -28%
3x leverage is the backtested standard. Lower leverage reduces both returns and drawdowns proportionally
Crypto-only — the engine is purpose-built for crypto futures markets and their unique volatility profile
