Backtest methodology
The numbers we publish on the homepage all come from a single, repeatable backtest with the parameters below. There is no curve-fitting per pair, no manual signal-selection, and no separate “optimisation” backtest you don't see.
Test parameters
Headline results
What we did NOT do
- No look-ahead bias. Every signal uses
barstate.isconfirmedin Pine Script — signals fire on candle close only and never re-evaluate. - No per-pair tuning. Default parameters are the same on every market the indicator runs on. We did not search for the best parameters per coin.
- No selective trade reporting.Every signal that fired in the test window is included — no cherry-picking winners.
- No surviorship-bias data.BTC/USDT has been a continuously listed instrument over the test window. We don't test on coins that don't exist anymore.
Live ↔ backtest alignment
The Pine Script that produces backtest signals on TradingView is byte-for-byte the same script that fires live alerts to the SniperEdge AI webhook. There is no separate “live” vs “backtest” mode. If a signal fired in the backtest, the same conditions today fire the same signal live. This is uncommon — most indicators have a hidden optimisation step that doesn't exist in production.
Caveats — read these
- Past performance ≠ future results.Markets change regimes. A strategy that worked 2021–2025 is not guaranteed to work in 2026.
- Compounding amplifies drawdowns.The +320% number assumes 100%-of-equity sizing on every trade. Most real traders size smaller for sleep-at-night risk; your real returns will scale roughly linearly with sizing.
- Funding fees on perpetuals are not modelled. On BTC perpetuals these are typically <0.01%/8h and don't change the headline numbers materially, but they do compound on long held positions.
- Live execution introduces latency.Webhook → exchange round-trip is typically 200–800ms; on fast moves this can mean the fill is a few ticks worse than the modelled slippage above.
