If you put in 500 USDT as starting balance, you'd make about $1,185 in profit overall, which is about +237% total on paper.
BUT it also had a worst drop of about $300 along the way, which is about -60% from the 500 (meaning at some point the balance could have fallen to around 200 before recovering), so it can look very profitable while still being scary to hold through because the “big dip” can be more than half of what you started with.
The backtest accounted in slippage, funding rate, and fees. AND trades are limited to ONLY 1 trade per day.
Given the 2025 macroeconomic conditions and what's coming in 2026, I believe this strategy will continue to play out well.
I've turned this into a Telegram signal bot. Over the past few days, it has given 6 signals. 4 of which were TP2, 1 was TP1 (50%) and exited at break even, 1 was stopped out.
I've been working on a trading bot that will take the signal and turn it into a trade setup (with live order placement API endpoints). Will be sharing trades for your pleasure!
