What the backtest said FAIL
Our own backtest of these exact rules, 2022-01-01 to 2026-09-27, $1,000 per pair with 100% of equity per trade, filled at the bar close. Averaged over the pairs: -76% at Kraken costs, +104% at CoinQuant's 0.1% fee. Gate: PF 0.65 < 1.1 at kraken (pooled).
| Pair | At Kraken costs | At CoinQuant 0.1% | Gross | Buy-and-hold | vs B&H | Trades | Win rate | PF (Kraken) | Max DD |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|

What CoinQuant reported
+492%, DD 17%, 112 trades (2020-2026). Good, best DD
That's CoinQuant's own backtest, with their dates and fee assumption (often 0.1% per side). It isn't directly comparable to the live numbers above.
