27 strategies. Top-50 coins. 7-day window. Here’s what happened.
Data as of 2026-08-31 02:44 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
⛔ All three top strategies this week are Retired. They appear in rankings because the backtest engine still scores them on fresh data, but each has been audited and found unsuitable for trading. Links go to their autopsy pages — read the verdict before running them.
Some links in these tables pointed at strategies that were already dead. This post went out on 2026-08-31, and Mean Reversion killed 2026-07-12 (50 days before) · Stochastic RSI killed 2026-07-12 (50 days before) · SuperTrend killed 2026-07-12 (50 days before) · Keltner Squeeze killed 2026-08-15 (16 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 | Status | WR | PF | Return | Trades | Move |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|

Bottom 3
| Rank | Strategy | WR | PF | Return | Trades | Move |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Keltner Squeeze LONG (autopsy) | 5.0% | 0.05 | -3.2% | 40† | — |
| 2 | Keltner Squeeze BOTH (autopsy) | 11.9% | 0.12 | -3.9% | 59† | — |
| 3 | SuperTrend LONG (autopsy) | 12.6% | 0.17 | -6.1% | 87† | — |
† = fewer than 100 trades in this 7-day window — low sample, interpret with caution (n≥100 recommended). ‡ = profit factor is at the display cap, not a measured value — the underlying figure was higher (possibly the no-loss sentinel). Treat it as “no losing trades in this window,” not as a score.
Monthly Context
Over the past 30 days, SuperTrend LONG 6H held the top spot with +7.5% return and a 8.31 profit factor. (⚠️ SuperTrend was killed 2026-07-12, 50 days before this post — see the strategy autopsy for the full verdict.)
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.
