How Dskyz Adaptive Futures Elite (DAFE) - Updated 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, RSI, SMA; those names are explained on their own pages, further down. The exact line is in the list below, in the author's names, and you can skip that list. When it enters, it also sets a stop or a target, so a trade can close without a new signal.

The author did not set a size, so each trade uses whatever amount the code assumes. It can stack up to 10 trades in the same direction.

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.

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.

This is the second pass. A fee of 0.12 percent per side is taken on the buy and again on the sell. Only buys are counted. If the rule also bets on falling prices, those trades are not in these numbers.

After fees, none of its 0 cells finished above zero.

0 of the cells cleared a quality check: at least 50 trades, gains that are not one lucky trade, and a drawdown that is real without taking the whole account.

Cells tried after the fee	0
Finished above zero	0
Cells that cleared the quality check	0

Label: backtest · old prices, buys only, a fee of 0.12 percent per side, every cell · Oct 2021 – Jun 2026. Hypothetical results; see the risk disclosure.

How to read the result

How to read the number

There is no finished result on this page, so there is no middle number to set against a lucky coin.

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.

Questions about Dskyz Adaptive Futures Elite (DAFE) - Updated

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 Dskyz Adaptive Futures Elite (DAFE) - Updated uses

Each has its own page: what it measures, how it is read, where it misleads.

• ATR (average true range): the volatility number behind most stops
• 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
