TradingView strategies backtested on crypto, one page each

614 TradingView strategies backtested on 13 crypto coins, October 2021 to June 2026. One page each: the rules in plain words, the median result of every cell, the drawdown, and a picture of the whole sample. 267 pages include results after fees.

Each page is one set of buy and sell rules published by someone else on TradingView. The rules were tried on old prices for 13 widely traded coins, from October 2021 to June 2026: 47,242 tries in all. 599 rules finished, and 273 were tried a second time with a fee on every trade. This library has a page for 614 of them, 267 with the fee applied.

A cell, the word every page uses, is one coin on one chart speed. The result of a rule is the median of all its cells, not the coin that gained the most. Each page opens with that number, draws every cell, explains the rule in plain words, and answers the questions a reader usually has. The indicators the rules are built from have their own pages, and how to read a backtest explains the method.

Every number is from old prices, not real money. A result here is about these coins and these years, not a verdict on the author. What the desk trades, and how, is not on these pages.

Joining a move: trend following strategies 190

It waits until price is already moving, then joins that move. It is wrong in small ways many times, and right in a large way a few times. The hard part is the stretch where price chops around and every entry is a fake.

Breakout: breakout strategies 77

It buys when price pokes above a recent high, and it bets on a fall when price pokes under a recent low. It is wrong often. It pays for those false starts with the few times price keeps going. How far back it looks decides how many pokes it takes.

Betting on a snap-back: mean reversion strategies 67

It buys after a fall and sells after a rise, on the idea that price returns toward normal. The wins are usually small and frequent. The loss comes when price does not return and the stretch turns into a trend.

A gauge with a line: momentum oscillator strategies 30

It reads a gauge such as RSI, a number that swings between low and high, and it acts when that gauge crosses a line the author chose. Those lines are the rule. Move the lines and the result can change.

Several tools at once: multi-indicator strategies 1

It waits until several indicators agree before it acts. More filters means fewer trades and a tidier path in this sample, and more settings that could have been adjusted to these same years. Count the trades before you lean on the gain.

Candle shapes: candlestick pattern strategies 4

It acts on the shape of one or a few price bars: a tall wick, a bar that swallows the bar before it, a bar hiding inside the one before it. The shape says who won a very short fight. That information fades quickly, so the way out matters more than the way in.

Chart turning points: price action and market structure strategies 60

It tries to act the way a person reading a chart would: at spots where price turned, at gaps, and at places where many people are likely to have set a stop. In code those ideas become counts of bars. The result depends on how those spots are defined.

Time of day: session and opening range strategies 80

It only acts during set hours, such as the London or New York morning. Crypto never closes, so those hours are a choice, not a fact of the market. The question is whether those hours behave the same way on more than one coin.

Trading activity: volume-based strategies 22

It acts when a lot of the coin is changing hands, or when price is on one side of the average price paid (often called VWAP). The idea is that a move with heavy trading behind it is more likely to continue. Crypto volume differs by exchange, so the filter inherits that.

Many small trades: scalping strategies 18

It takes a lot of small trades on fast charts and needs a tiny gain on each one. The trading cost is the whole story. With no fee, almost every rule of this kind looks fine. With a real fee, many do not. A test on one-minute bars also assumes every order was filled, which is generous.

Grid: grid trading strategies 13

It places a ladder of buy and sell orders at set distances. It makes a little each time price bounces inside that ladder. If price walks away and does not come back, it is left holding a larger and larger losing bet. Where the ladder was drawn decides the result.

Averaging down: dollar-cost averaging strategies 15

When a buy goes the wrong way, it buys more, so the average price moves closer to the market. Most of the closed trades then look like small wins. The losses are rare and large, and they show up when price keeps falling.

A rule of its own: rules-based strategies 37

This one does not sit in the usual groups. The buy and sell lines below are what it is. Read it the same way as the others: what it assumes, how many trades it took, and what happened on many coins and chart speeds rather than on one.
