Tested settings, not every combination. We tried 8 combinations, but only 4 actually placed trades — the other 4 never triggered an entry, so they're left out. What's shown is every setting that produced real trades.

How this was tested. Everything except the settings you can change was held constant — the same coins, the same costs, the same dates — so the default here lines up with the numbers on our main RSI page.

What this is: a real backtest of 8 RSI settings on Hyperliquid, net of fees, slippage and funding. We show only settings we actually tested and never imply an untested combination works. The default and every losing setting stay visible. Past performance does not predict future results; this is not investment advice.
