Robustness Testsi

Makes Money After Feesi

Each bar is total P&L at a higher fee.

A bp is one hundredth of one percent, so 10 bps is 0.1%.

Positive In At Least 60% Of Its Yearsi

Each bar adds up the trades that started that year, before fees.

Still Makes Money With Delayed Entriesi

The grey line buys on time.

The blue line buys late, and the sell time stays the same.

Neighbouring Settings Also Make Moneyi

Each dot on the map is the same rule with a different high and hold.

The height and colour show the Sharpe, so a long hold can't win just by holding BTC longer.

Most robust only counts settings with all eight neighbours, so it never sits on the edge.
