How Bober XM v2.0 works
Rules in this group usually work like this. 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. 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. It leans on ATR, EMA, Hull MA, pivot high; those names are explained on their own pages, further down.

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 13 cells, and it placed no trades.
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 | 13 |

How to read the result
How to read the number
No cell took a trade, so there is no return to read. The rule above is the whole note.
What this does not show
The useful question is the stretch that never snapped back. That is where a year of small wins can disappear.
There is no cell to single out, and this note does not invent one. Other years, another exchange, or another fee would be a different measurement.

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.
The indicators Bober XM v2.0 uses
Each has its own page: what it measures, how it is read, where it misleads.
- ADX and the directional movement index: how strong the trend is, not which way
- ATR (average true range): the volatility number behind most stops
- Bollinger Bands: a moving average with two standard deviations on each side
- Donchian Channels: the highest high and lowest low, and the breakout rule they define
- Exponential moving average (EMA): what it measures and where it misleads
- Hull moving average (HMA): how it removes lag, and what it costs
- On-balance volume (OBV): a running tally of volume by direction
- Pivot points: swing pivots and floor-trader pivots, two different things with one name
- RSI (relative strength index): the formula, the 70/30 rule, and why it misleads in trends
- Simple moving average (SMA): the plainest average, and why it still runs half the strategies
- Standard deviation in trading: the volatility measure inside Bollinger Bands and z-scores
- Supertrend: an ATR trailing line that flips with the trend
- Volume-weighted moving average (VWMA): an average that listens to volume
- Weighted moving average (WMA): linear weights, less lag, and the price of it
- Wilder's smoothing (RMA): the average inside RSI, ATR and ADX
