Backtest Results
ETH futures backtest on Binance aggTrades · data through Aug 24, 2026

The reported ETH backtest,
with its limits visible.

One continuous ETH futures backtest on Binance aggTrades (trade-by-trade, not candles) data since Jan 1, 2021, presented as historical evidence—not a live return promise. The headline uses the baseline variant, with funding excluded, 1bp entry slippage included, and take-profit slippage disabled. This slippage assumption is more conservative than the BTC baseline, which uses zero slippage.

Reported realized ROI (baseline, exit-net)
+1,359.72%
Max drawdown
−50.24%

This backtest includes reinvestment: the base is reset after each +10% wallet growth. The actual bot does not automatically reinvest; the user must reset it manually. The same 10% reset assumption applies to the BTC backtest. BTC source: 29 reported reinvestment resets.

Open at snapshot end

The reported result includes closing this open position

The baseline ended in an open position. The reported ending wallet is exit-net: it includes closing that position with exit fees deducted, consistent with the reported ROI. The source records the raw wallet before this closing adjustment separately. It reports the open holding duration but does not provide entry, target, or mark-to-market details.

Reported cycle evidence

What the reported cycle count means

A cycle begins with an initial entry, can add staged orders as price moves against the position, and ends when the report records the position as closed. It is separate from live-account take-profits.

Risk, not hidden

No reported liquidation in this run does not mean no risk

  • Positions can remain open and show unrealized losses before a target is reached.
  • Historical paths cannot reproduce future liquidity, fills, funding, or slippage.
  • Mark-to-market risk is published below: the account reached −50.24% drawdown during this run. A run with no reported liquidation can still experience substantial losses.

How long a position stayed open

The longest holding period and the p50, p90 and p99 percentiles are shown together. Days are rounded to two decimals; the median is also shown in minutes so its short duration is visible.

The recorded path through the −50.24% drawdown

Declines are absorbed rung by rung, and a take-profit resets the round. What the source records across the whole run:

  • 44,642 of 45,104 closed cycles reached no deeper than the first 5 rungs.
  • 4 cycles reached the deepest rungs (11–12).
  • The minimum recorded distance to the liquidation line was 13.49%.
  • 0 liquidations reported across the run. In 2022, the source recorded its largest annual drawdown (−50.24%), minimum liquidation room of 13.49%, and a maximum reached round of 12/12: the prepared ladder was fully used. These are annual extremes; the source does not establish that they occurred at the same time. The year recorded +$359,534.27 realized profit.

All four variants finish with 0 reported liquidations (44,986–45,154 closed cycles). The 1bp and 2bp TP slippage applies to take-profit exits; all four variants include 1bp entry slippage. Costs change the ROI, not the survival in these historical runs. Funding and slippage change the wallet, reset timing, and subsequent order sizes, so cycle counts differ.

The baseline ending wallet in this table matches the headline. Both use exit-net, including the closing of the position open at the end with exit fees deducted, consistent with the reported ROI. The raw wallet before this closing adjustment is a separate source value.

Recorded capital utilization: mean 0.48%, 95th percentile 1.52%, and maximum 80.45%. ETH peak usage was higher than the BTC maximum of 71.92%. The average allocation was small, but peak usage was substantially higher.

Per-cycle adverse excursion (MAE) relative to the account: median −0.0022%, worst −51.48%. MAE measures each cycle; account maximum drawdown measures the equity path.

Per-cycle MAE relative to deployed capital: median −0.97%, worst −93.37%.

Parameter robustness

Small parameter perturbations, published

Coverage and weights received ±1e-6 changes in 50 independent perturbations, plus 1 exact run (51 runs total). Each was re-evaluated over the full period on aggTrades with baseline settings.

Median max drawdown
−34.33%
Worst max drawdown
−56.35%
Worst minimum liquidation room
11.86%
Liquidations across the 51 tested runs
0

The published headline drawdown of −50.24% is worse than the perturbation median of −34.33%. It therefore presents a conservative value relative to that median, while the worst tested drawdown was −56.35%.

All 51 tested runs recorded 0 liquidations. This is a separate result from the four cost variants with 0 liquidations; it does not establish that untested parameter changes or future paths would avoid liquidation.

Reported cost summary

Trading fees are deducted from the baseline result. Fee cashback is shown separately at the 20% partner-link rate and is NOT included in that result. The baseline excludes funding, includes 1bp entry slippage, and disables only take-profit slippage. This is more conservative than the BTC baseline, which uses zero slippage. The baseline slippage cost shown below is the recorded entry slippage cost; the four cost variants are published above.
