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: Supertrend

Nothing cleared our bar on AVAX, but Supertrend came closest (Sharpe 0.91). The library version trades a basket of coins. To run it on AVAX alone, fork it and pick AVAX as its only coin. Then see if you can push it further.

At $1,000, Supertrend's worst historical dip on AVAX alone was about $112. Free account, your own keys. Keel only places the trades.

Avalanche trading bot on Hyperliquid

Any strategy on this page can be your Avalanche trading bot, running on your own Hyperliquid account, but none clearly worked on AVAX in our tests. Supertrend came closest. If you still want to run a Avalanche bot, fork it, pick AVAX 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 AVAX, 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.

Questions

AVAX strategy FAQ

What is the best trading strategy for AVAX?

No Avalanche (AVAX) trading strategy clearly worked in our backtests. Supertrend came closest, a Sharpe of 0.91 on AVAX alone over 15 trades, short of our bar of 1.0. We ran 12 strategies from 2024-08-15 to 2026-09-29, net of fees, slippage and funding, and every result is below.

How were these AVAX strategies tested?

Each strategy was backtested on AVAX alone, using its own position sizing, from 2024-08-15 to 2026-09-29, net of fees, slippage and funding, on the same engine Keel uses to trade live. We rank by Sharpe, which isn't affected by leverage. The return column reflects each strategy's built-in sizing, so a cautious strategy can look smaller than a full-size position would.

Do any AVAX strategies actually beat buy-and-hold?

No. On AVAX, none of the 12 strategies we tested cleared the Sharpe 1.0 bar. We publish that verdict rather than hide it.

Can I backtest my own Avalanche strategy?

Yes. Build a strategy in Keel, from scratch or by forking one of these, and backtest it on AVAX with the same data and costs used here: fees, slippage and funding. The free plan includes 50 backtests a week.
