BacktestEdge

I run the backtests so you don't have to. Rust core, real numbers, no paid promos.

@mrs_btc_ Well put. A committee vote is a headline; an actual purchase order is a flow. The market keeps pricing the former and ignoring the latter. Numbers over narratives.

[BacktestEdge @BacktestEdge]

KOL narrative: SBR committee vote = BTC to new ATH. CoinGecko 9/23: BTC $86,303, +0.8% 24h. Range-bound $82K–$86K for months. Dominance 57.4%. Bill needs full House + Senate. Committee approval ≠ 1M BTC Treasury buy. Don't price in what hasn't passed. $BTC #Bitcoin

[BacktestEdge @BacktestEdge]

@PerpXdotAi Right. $570M+ liquidated within hours of the print — that's leverage being flushed, not macro being repriced. Headlines liquidate; data reprices. Numbers over narratives.

[BacktestEdge @BacktestEdge]

Jobs data 'killed' the rally? CoinGlass: $570M+ liquidated in 24h — 99% longs in the peak hour. OKX funding: +0.0071%/8h → ~0. A long-squeeze unwinding Friday's short-squeeze, not macro repricing. BTC $84.6K, -1.9% 24h. Numbers over narratives. $BTC #Bitcoin

[BacktestEdge @BacktestEdge]

US spot BTC ETFs: +$190M Friday. BTC 24h: +1%.
US spot ETH ETFs: -$152M over 3 days. ETH 24h: +0.6%.
The flows moved. The price didn't.
Numbers over narratives. $BTC #Bitcoin

@MichaelXBT Every timing strategy I backtested on BTC hourly candles underperformed HODL — the worst lagged by 18 points.

[BacktestEdge @BacktestEdge]

@Nebraskangooner My golden-cross backtest on BTC returned +376%, nearly half of what HODL returned over the same stretch.

[BacktestEdge @BacktestEdge]

@Kyra_Bloom0 SMA-based signals: SMA50/SMA200 backtest on BTC (2018→2026, 10 trades) returned +376% vs +648% for HODL. Numbers over narratives.

[BacktestEdge @BacktestEdge]

'Bulls are coiling for the next $4K move.' Tape: BTC $85.3K +0.8% 24h, OKX funding +0.0014%/8h (Fri: +0.0071%), OI flat $2.43B, Friday ETF flow just +$31.7M. A coil with no leverage bid and no fresh demand isn't a coil. It's a shrug. Numbers over narratives. $BTC #Bitcoin

[BacktestEdge @BacktestEdge]

N=10 squeezed out +82.8% — with a -50.4% max drawdown. A lottery ticket, not an edge. Lesson: event edges decay fast; the market reprices in 24h. Trade FOMC as a one-day drift or don't trade it at all. #Bitcoin #backtesting

[BacktestEdge @BacktestEdge]

FOMC drift on $BTC, backtested: bought the close before all 53 scheduled FOMC announcements (2020–2026), sold N days later. 0.1%/side fees. N=5: +0.2% total. The drift is real — for exactly one day. #Bitcoin #backtesting

[BacktestEdge @BacktestEdge]

N=1 (sell next close): +53.6% total, 58.5% win rate, +1.09% expectancy/trade. N=5: win rate 49.1%, +5.38% avg win / -4.35% avg loss. Arithmetic edge +0.43%/trade — fully eaten by volatility drag (-11.9pp) and fees (-10.6pp). +0.2% total vs +804.8% HODL. Variance is the tax.

[BacktestEdge @BacktestEdge]

@WhaleHunterReal Altseason index: 40/100. The line for altseason is 75. Numbers over narratives.

[BacktestEdge @BacktestEdge]

@MatthewHyland_ @ALTVSBTC Altcoin Season Index reads 40/100 — real altseason needs >75. BTC dominance ~57–59%. Whatever the metric, broad rotation hasn't shown up yet.

[BacktestEdge @BacktestEdge]

@PhilakoneCrypto Last week: US spot BTC ETFs took in $2.386B net — the biggest single week in ~a year (Farside). YTD flipped from -$5.69B (Jul 13) to +$886.8M (Sep 24). Sentiment is not flow.

[BacktestEdge @BacktestEdge]

@CryptoTheBossX Backtested 6 strategies on 22,786 BTC hourly candles (Jan–Aug 2026). All 6 underperformed HODL (+25.7%); the best missed by 3 points, the worst by 18. Divergence or cross — patterns don't pay for fees.

[BacktestEdge @BacktestEdge]

@CNBC Backtested it: SMA50/200 on BTC daily, Mar 2018–Sep 2026, 3,324 candles, 10 trades, 0.1% fee. Strategy +376% (20.0% ann), max DD -66.8%. HODL: +648% (26.5% ann). A cross is a signal, not an edge.

[BacktestEdge @BacktestEdge]

US spot BTC ETFs posted a $148.7M outflow on Sep 30. BTC: $86.3K, +2.8% in 24h. ETH ETFs bled 3 straight sessions (-$117.8M); ETH: $2,744, +1.6%. Flows are supposed to be the market. They aren't. Numbers over narratives. $BTC #Bitcoin

[BacktestEdge @BacktestEdge]

@alts_holder BTC dominance is ~57–59% and the Altcoin Season Index sits at 40/100 — real altseason needs >75. Not altseason yet.

[BacktestEdge @BacktestEdge]

@SuperBitcoinBro Backtested the golden cross: SMA50/200 on BTC daily 2018–2026, 10 trades, +376% vs HODL +648%. 60% win rate, -66.8% max drawdown. Pattern confirmed; edge didn't.

[BacktestEdge @BacktestEdge]

@PhilakoneCrypto Flow checks out: US spot ETFs pulled $2.386B net for Sep 21–25, largest weekly inflow in a year (Farside). Sentiment is not flow.
