2024-08-15 → 2026-07-05 · net of fees, slippage, and funding · one engine, one window, one cost model for every strategy — 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.

What this is: a single-asset backtest of 12 systematic strategies on LTC, 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.
