We backtested 20 trading rules on crypto. Here is how each one did.

Each rule ran exactly as written on the top 10 Hyperliquid perpetuals at once, each coin with an equal share of the account, on the 4h and 1d charts, from 2024-08-15 to 2026-09-29, with fees, slippage and funding paid. A portfolio of 10 coins is a better test than one coin. It trades many more times, so one lucky or unlucky coin cannot decide the result, and its drawdowns are usually smaller because each coin's bad stretch hits only its share of the account. It lifts a result only when the rule works across coins; a rule that works on one or two coins looks no better here. Running one rule over a whole portfolio in a single backtest is what Keel is built for. A poor grade is as useful as a strong one: it is a rule you do not have to test with your own money.
