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 MA Crossover page.
What this is: a real backtest of 4 MA Crossover 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.
