32 strategies. Top-50 coins. 7-day window. Here’s what happened.
Data as of 2026-08-24 02:57 UTC (the ranking run this post was generated from) — source data (JSON); the strategy counts, table figures and 30-day line below are recomputed from it by scripts/weekly-snapshot.py.
Top 3
Some links in these tables pointed at strategies that were already retired or shelved. This post went out on 2026-08-24, and HV Squeeze shelved 2026-02-15 (190 days before) · Donchian Breakout killed 2026-07-12 (43 days before) · MACD Cross killed 2026-07-12 (43 days before) · Stochastic RSI killed 2026-07-12 (43 days before) · Keltner Squeeze killed 2026-08-15 (9 days before). The weekly tally ran without reading the verdicts. The numbers stay — they are what that week produced and this post owns that record. What changed is where those links go: to each strategy’s journal, where the kill is explained, not to a simulator run. We do not swap in a different strategy; that would erase the week’s record. Dates are each journal’s
dateKilled.
| Rank | Strategy | WR | PF | Return | Trades | Move |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | MACD Cross LONG | 93.2% | 99.99 | +5.7% | 59† | — |
| 2 | Stochastic RSI LONG | 89.8% | 19.32 | +9.7% | 118 | ▲4 |
| 3 | Keltner Squeeze LONG | 84.2% | 9.65 | +4.3% | 38† | ▲2 |
This table is the weekly tally as published on 2026-08-24 — and all three of the Top 3 had already been killed by then. MACD Cross killed 2026-07-12 (its 2026-08-14 preset-default re-measure read PF 0.83 over 2,656 trades) · Stochastic RSI killed 2026-07-12 · Keltner Squeeze killed 2026-08-15 — that is 43, 43 and 9 days before this post went out. The weekly tally ran without reading the verdicts. The numbers stay (they are what that week actually produced, and this post owns that record). What changes is where the links go: to each strategy’s journal, where the kill is explained, rather than to a simulator run. If you click a row that says “rank 1”, the place you should land is why we killed it. We do not swap in a different strategy — that would erase the week’s record.
18 out of 32 strategies posted a win rate of 50% or higher this week.
Bottom 3
| Rank | Strategy | WR | PF | Return | Trades | Move |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Donchian Breakout | 4.2% | 0.02 | -6.4% | 48† | — |
| 2 | HV Squeeze | 4.0% | 0.04 | -6.2% | 50† | — |
| 3 | Stochastic RSI | 12.1% | 0.12 | -10.1% | 116 | — |
The Bottom 3 is the same story — those three (Donchian Breakout, HV Squeeze, Stochastic RSI) are killed or shelved today too. All three carry a date in their journals: Stochastic RSI killed 2026-07-12 · Donchian Breakout killed 2026-07-12 · HV Squeeze shelved 2026-02-15 — 43, 43 and 190 days before this post (each journal owns its verdict). The links point at the journals for the same reason as the table above.
† = fewer than 100 trades in this 7-day window — low sample, interpret with caution (n≥100 recommended).
Monthly Context
Over the past 30 days, Keltner Squeeze LONG 6H holds the top spot with +4.2% return and a 10.82 profit factor. (Keltner Squeeze was retired on 2026-08-15, nine days before this post went out — the journal explains why.)
So What
Rankings shift every week. Past performance doesn’t predict future results — that’s exactly why we re-run every strategy on fresh data. This ranking is a research snapshot: read each strategy’s verdict before using a result — retired and shelved strategies are not trading candidates.
