Reading this report
Both curves begin at zero percent on the same effective start date. BTC is a spot buy-and-hold benchmark.
Profitable trades counts fully closed positions after costs and funding. It is not the percentage of positive days.
Different start dates describe different market histories; compare periods before comparing rankings.
Methodology & limitations
Historical simulation. Closed-bar signals and next-open execution; fees, slippage and historical funding included. BTC spot benchmark includes entry costs and no perpetual funding. Account value is compounded continuously without annual resets.
Observed research periods are not untouched out-of-sample data. Active means currently in use; it does not establish safety or strategy quality. Daily analytics use QuantStats; headline financial metrics use the saved backtest. Current instrument constraints are applied retrospectively. Leveraged simulations do not model exchange liquidation.
