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.
Nothing cleared the bar on LINK yet
None of the 12 strategies we tested worked well enough on LINK on its own. See the coins where strategies did work, or build and backtest your own on LINK for free.
Chainlink trading bot on Hyperliquid
Any strategy on this page can be your Chainlink trading bot, running on your own Hyperliquid account, but none worked well enough on LINK in our tests, so we wouldn't start one as it is. Build your own LINK rules and backtest them first, or start from a coin where a strategy did work.
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.
Chainlink indicators today
The Chainlink indicator dashboard shows today's daily RSI, MACD, moving averages, volatility and Hyperliquid funding for LINK, updated once a day. Check where LINK stands now, then test a rule on it with the strategies above.
What this is: a single-asset backtest of 12 systematic strategies on LINK, 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.
