Precision Edge System [JOAT] 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 Precision Edge System [JOAT] works

Rules in this group usually work like this. 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. 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, MACD, pivot high; 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.

Each trade uses the whole account. It can stack up to 3 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.

• Enters long when confluence score long is at or above minimum score and (not (Regime Filter (on)) or regime differs from 0 or not (Avoid Choppy Markets (off))) and daily trade count is below Max Daily Trades (10) and no position is open and volume is above (the 20-period SMA of volume × 0.8) and (Allow Partial Setups (on) or trend confirm long) and (the close − stop loss) is above 0.
• Enters short when confluence score short is at or above minimum score and (not (Regime Filter (on)) or regime differs from 0 or not (Avoid Choppy Markets (off))) and daily trade count is below Max Daily Trades (10) and no position is open and volume is above (the 20-period SMA of volume × 0.8) and (Allow Partial Setups (on) or trend confirm short) and (stop loss − the close) is above 0.
• On entry, places a stop at (the low when ORB Filter (on) and or established, else (the low − (the 14-period ATR × 2))), a target at (the close + ((the close − stop loss) × target multiplier)).
• On entry, places a stop at (the high when ORB Filter (on) and or established, else (the high + (the 14-period ATR × 2))), a target at (the close − ((stop loss − the close) × target multiplier)).
• Closes the position when EOD Exit (on) and a position is open.

Buys or sells	It can buy, and it can bet on falling prices.
Tools it calculates	ATR, Donchian Channels, EMA, Fibonacci, MACD, Pivot points, RSI, SMA, Stochastic, pivot low, running total
A second chart speed	No. It uses one chart speed only.
Only at certain hours	Yes. It only acts during set hours.
Adding to a trade	It can stack up to 3 trades in the same direction.
How much it trades	Each trade uses the whole account.
Cost the author assumed	The author assumed a trading cost of 0.075 percent per side.

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 37 cells. It placed a trade on 22 of them. 0 of the cells that traded finished above zero (0.0%).

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	37
Cells that placed a trade	22
Finished above zero	0 (0.0% of the cells that traded)
Middle result, before fees	−55.5%
Strongest cell, the top of the range	XRP 4-hour: −26.0%
Weakest cell, the bottom of the range	XLM hourly: −79.5%
Middle drawdown, before fees	66.4%

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 66.4%.

What this does not show

The useful question is how the turning points are counted in the code. A person can be vague. The code has to count bars.

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 Precision Edge System [JOAT]

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 Precision Edge System [JOAT] 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
• 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
• Fibonacci retracement levels: where the ratios come from and what a backtest can say about them
• MACD: two EMAs, a signal line and a histogram, read correctly
• 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
• Stochastic oscillator: where the close sits in the recent range, and what that does and does not tell you
