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 WIF yet

None of the 12 strategies we tested worked well enough on WIF on its own. See the coins where strategies did work, or build and backtest your own on WIF for free.

dogwifhat trading bot on Hyperliquid

Any strategy on this page can be your dogwifhat trading bot, running on your own Hyperliquid account, but none worked well enough on WIF in our tests, so we wouldn't start one as it is. Build your own WIF 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.

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

WIF strategy FAQ

What is the best trading strategy for WIF?

None of the 12 trading strategies we backtested on dogwifhat (WIF) worked well enough to run. The best, Supertrend, reached a Sharpe of 0.56, under our floor of 0.8, net of fees, slippage and funding, from 2024-08-15 to 2026-09-29. That is the honest answer for WIF, and every result is below.

How were these WIF strategies tested?

Each strategy was backtested on WIF 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 WIF strategies actually beat buy-and-hold?

No. On WIF, 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 dogwifhat strategy?

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