Assets and trading venues

Backtesting

The backtesting was performed with Binance ETH-USDT and MATIC-USDT data of 2019-2024.

• See backtesting results
• Read more about what is backtesting.

The backtesting trading venue (Binance) is different from the live trading venue (Quickswap, Uniswap), because DEX markets do not have long enough history to result to a meaningful backtest.

The backtesting period saw one bull market rally that is unlikely to repeat in the same magnitude for the assets we trade.

Past peformance is no guarantee of future results. Like with manual trading, automated trading is unlikely to be perfect. There will be variance in the range of 30% - 50% in the results.
