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.
Supertrend cleared the bar on ENA alone (Sharpe 1.64). The library version trades a basket of coins. To run it on ENA alone, fork it and pick ENA as its only coin.

Ethena trading bot on Hyperliquid
Any strategy on this page can be your Ethena trading bot, running on your own Hyperliquid account with no code. The ones that cleared our bar on ENA are the place to start, led by Supertrend, Ichimoku Cloud and Confluence. We tested each one on ENA alone, while the library versions trade a basket of coins, so fork one, pick ENA as its only coin and backtest it again before you start it.
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 ENA, 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.
