BTC Trading Strategy (>8x Buy & Hold)
This is proprietary alpha strategy aimed at trading large-cap cryptos, including BTC and ETH.
The script is comprised of several proprietary momentum and volatility indicators that generate buy & sell signals. Roughly 30% of entries are successful, with the rest being exited quickly once invalidated; the entries that persist generated an outsized return. The strategy returned over 8x Buy & Hold returns of BTC from 2016-2021, for a total of >91,000% (from 2016 - 2021/04) vs. roughly 11,000% buy & hold.

There is a small bug: the strategy would often report entries/exits for the same side at the same time, these should be just ignored for now and they don't impact the overall performance assessment.
