Performance Results

The 6-year backtest (2018.01.02–2024.11.28) grew a $10,000 account to $211,933 — a 2,010% return across 5,270 trades. The profit factor reached 2.27, with a Sharpe ratio of 19.07 and LR correlation of 0.95, indicating consistent linear equity growth rather than spike-and-crash behavior.

The live signal (ICMarkets MT5, 13 weeks active) records 82.9% profit trades and an 8.8% maximum drawdown with 3.2% max deposit load. Growth since 2024 stands at 13% on a live account — a short window, but directionally consistent with backtest behavior.

The 14.55% peak equity drawdown in backtesting stems from BTCUSD volatility spikes — particularly during sharp reversals where buy-only positioning has no hedge. Control exposure by starting at 1% risk per trade, monitoring open equity during high-volatility sessions, and avoiding deployment during known macro Bitcoin events (ETF announcements, exchange collapses). At 1% risk, a 6-consecutive-loss sequence (the backtest worst case) costs approximately 5.8% of capital. Recovery under normal trending conditions takes 4–8 weeks based on the backtest frequency of roughly 3–4 trades per week.

Backtest conducted 2018–2024 on MT5. Live signal active 13 weeks only — run a 60+ day demo to validate under current market conditions before deploying live capital. Backtest results differ from live trading due to slippage and spread variation.
