2024-08-15 → 2026-09-29 · net of fees, slippage, and funding · one engine, one window, one cost model for every strategy, with no cherry-picking.
The return column reflects each strategy’s own position sizing (some hold only a small slice of one coin), so Sharpe, which isn’t affected by leverage, is the fair way to rank them. 3 strategies that rank coins against each other (like funding carry and momentum ranking) can't run on a single asset, so they're left out.
Start from the closest: RSI
Nothing cleared our bar on AAVE, but RSI came closest (Sharpe 0.82). The library version trades a basket of coins. To run it on AAVE alone, fork it and pick AAVE as its only coin. Then see if you can push it further.
At $1,000, RSI's worst historical dip on AAVE alone was about $15. Free account, your own keys. Keel only places the trades.
Aave trading bot on Hyperliquid
Any strategy on this page can be your Aave trading bot, running on your own Hyperliquid account, but none clearly worked on AAVE in our tests. RSI scored best, but on too few trades to trust. If you still want to run a Aave bot, fork it, pick AAVE as its only coin, change the rules and backtest it until the result holds up.
Paper trade it first on live prices, which needs no wallet. When you go live, Keel trades from your own Hyperliquid account through an agent wallet that can place trades but can never withdraw, so your money stays in your account, and you can pause the bot or revoke its access at any time.
What this is: a single-asset backtest of 12 systematic strategies on AAVE, on real Hyperliquid data, net of fees, slippage and funding. A high Sharpe on a low trade count is a small sample, not a promise. Where nothing clears the bar, we say so. Past performance does not predict future results, and this is not investment advice.
