Silver Early Pulse v11.0 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.

Each bar is the middle result for that coin, across its chart speeds. The black line is zero.

Each dot is one cell, lined up by chart speed. Dots to the right of the black line finished above zero. The orange line is the middle.

How Silver Early Pulse v11.0 works

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

The code does not say whether it buys, bets on falling prices, or both. It acts only when several checks agree at once. It leans on ATR, EMA, 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.

Each trade uses 25 percent of the account. 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 when ((MACD line − signal line) crosses above 0 and the close is above inline series (the 100-period EMA of the close, 1) on the '60' timeframe and volume is above the 20-period SMA of volume or (MACD line − signal line) crosses below 0 and the close is below inline series (the 100-period EMA of the close, 1) on the '60' timeframe and volume is above the 20-period SMA of volume) and no position is open.
Keeps a stop at ((the close × (1 − 0.05)) when long condition, else (the close × (1 + 0.05))), a target at ((the close × (1 + (0.05 × 3))) when long condition, else (the close × (1 − (0.05 × 3)))) working while the position is open.

Buys or sells	The code does not say whether it buys, bets on falling prices, or both.
Tools it calculates	ATR, EMA, MACD, SMA
A second chart speed	Yes. It also looks at a second chart speed.
Only at certain hours	Yes. It only acts during set hours.
Adding to a trade	It holds one trade at a time.
How much it trades	Each trade uses 25 percent of the account.
Cost the author assumed	The author assumed a trading cost of 0.01 percent per side.

Default settings

The test used the defaults in the middle column. Nothing was turned to help a coin.

The author left no settings adjustable. Every number is fixed in the code.

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, 14 of 42 cells finished above zero (33.3%). The median of every cell was −10.0%.

8 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.

Finished above zero by chart speed: 15-minute chart, 15m 0 of 8; hourly chart, 1h 2 of 13; 30-minute chart, 30m 4 of 8; 4-hour chart, 4h 8 of 13.

Cells tried after the fee	42
Finished above zero	14 (33.3%)
Middle result, the median of every cell	−10.0%
Middle drawdown, every cell	23.6%
Cells that cleared the quality check	8
Middle result, over the cells that cleared the quality check	+12.3%
Extra, Calmar on the checked rows. Result divided by the deepest fall	0.79
Extra, Sharpe on the checked rows. Result divided by how bumpy the path was	0.06
Middle drawdown, the checked rows	19.0%
Deepest fall, the checked rows	26.3%
Middle number of trades, the checked rows	122

How to read the result

How to read the number

The median of every cell is the result of the rule. The author's settings were not changed to help any coin. The weakest and the strongest cells are not a result on their own.

What the number leaves out

The table also shows +12.3%, taken only over the cells that cleared the quality check. Cells that finished down are left out of that figure, which is why it stands away from the median of every cell. It describes those rows only.

8 of 42 cells cleared a quality check: at least 50 trades, a profit factor that is not one lucky trade, and a drawdown that is real without taking the whole account. Profit factor means the gains divided by the losses. Clearing the check describes this sample. It says nothing about the next set of years.

The count above is also split by chart speed. A speed that finished higher, in these years, is one slice of the same rule. It is not a separate strategy.

What this does not show

The useful question, for a rule that joins a move already underway, is what it gave back in the choppy months when there was no trend to join.

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.

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.
