Algo Torma ORB strategy backtest results, every cell

Every cell is in the picture, not only the strongest. To the right of the black line is above zero. The orange line, when you see one, is the middle.

How Algo Torma ORB strategy works

Rules in this group usually work like this. 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. The next paragraph is this particular rule, which can be narrower than the group.

It can buy, and it can bet on falling prices. It acts only when several checks agree at once. The exact line is in the list below, in the author's names, and you can skip that list. It gets out when a position is open.

Each trade uses a fixed size of 1. It holds one trade at a time.

The exact condition, from the code

Same rule, translated from the code, in the author's names. You can skip this list if the paragraph above was enough.

• Enters long when long armed and no position is open and trade count is below Max Trades Per Day (2) and not (daily loss hit).
• Enters short when short armed and no position is open and trade count is below Max Trades Per Day (2) and not (daily loss hit).
• Places a stop at (the average entry price − (Hard Stop (80) × mintick)), a trailing stop when a long position is open.
• Places a stop at (the average entry price + (Hard Stop (80) × mintick)), a trailing stop when a short position is open.
• Closes the position when a position is open.

How the backtest was run

Every strategy was tried the same way, on the settings the author published.

The years are October 2021 to June 2026. The prices are from Bybit, for 13 widely traded coins, mostly on hourly, 4-hour and daily charts, with some faster charts. That was 47,242 tries. The window stored in the files is 2021-09..2026-06.

599 rules produced a finished try. A rule that finished above zero on at least 12 cells, before any fee, was tried again with a fee of 0.12 percent per side. Only buys are counted in that second try. 273 rules got it.

The method, the aggregate results and a downloadable table are on the study page. What the desk does with the results beyond these pages is its own.

Before any fee, it was tried on 47 cells. It placed a trade on 2 of them. 1 of the cells that traded finished above zero (50.0%).

It was not run a second time with a fee. That second pass happens only when at least 12 cells finished above zero before fees. 273 rules got that pass.

Cells tried	47
Cells that placed a trade	2
Finished above zero	1 (50.0% of the cells that traded)
Middle result, before fees	+0.0%
Strongest cell, the top of the range	AAVE 5-minute: +0.0%
Weakest cell, the bottom of the range	ADA 5-minute: −0.0%
Middle drawdown, before fees	0.0%

How to read the result

How to read the number

The median of every cell that traded is the result. No fee has been taken off, so the number is a ceiling. A fee comes off each trade, and this page does not guess that cost, because this rule did not get the second pass where the fee is applied. The weakest and the strongest cells are not a result on their own.

The middle drawdown, on the cells that traded, was 0.0%.

What this does not show

The useful question is whether the same hours work on other coins. Crypto has no closing bell, so the hour is a choice.

Nothing on this page was fit to the cell that finished highest. One coin, one chart speed, or one strong stretch is a single row. It is not the rule. Other years, another exchange, or another fee would be a different measurement.

Questions about Algo Torma ORB strategy

Words used on this page

Backtest

The rule was tried on old prices. No real money moved.

Cell

One coin on one chart speed. Bitcoin every 4 hours is one cell. Bitcoin once a day is another.

Chart speed

How often a new price bar is drawn. 15m means every 15 minutes, 1h means hourly, 4h means every 4 hours, 1D means once a day.

Fee, per side

A cost taken each time the rule trades. Per side means once on the way in and once on the way out.

Median

Line the cells up from the biggest loss to the biggest gain. The median is the middle one. Half the cells did better and half did worse.

Drawdown

The deepest fall from a high point along the way, as a percent of the account at that high.

Above zero

The account finished with more than it started.
