Short-hold dip buying with a regime filter · its own $25K Alpaca paper sleeve. v2 is a clean restart — v1 had a timezone bug, so we invalidated it and started over.

Crypto Trend+MR v2

Scope note: the equity curve and top-line numbers on this page track the $25K IBKR trading book (the three book strategies above), snapshotted daily. The Live Trades feed updates every 5 minutes intraday, so its return and drawdown can differ slightly from this page between snapshots. The four sleeve strategies run on separate $25K paper accounts, reported per-sleeve above. Live win rates for the weekly-rotation book strategies publish once they have closed trades — we don't backfill or estimate them.

About This Track Record

All results shown are paper trading on IBKR's simulated environment with $25,000 starting capital. Strategies run autonomously via launchd-scheduled Python scripts. No manual trades are included. Data updates every 5 minutes during market hours via automated sync. Crypto performance runs on Binance US with a separate capital allocation not reflected in the equity curve above.

⚠ Important Disclaimer

Past paper trading performance does not guarantee future live results. Paper trading eliminates real-world frictions including slippage, liquidity constraints, and execution latency. All strategies shown are running on simulated accounts only. This is not financial advice.
