Here is that battery, rewritten as a checklist you can run on your own strategy — including the steps no tool can do for you. https://pruviq.com/blog/crypto-backtesting-glossary/ https://pruviq.com/blog/crypto-backtesting-glossary/ Sat, 15 Aug 2026 00:00:00 GMT education Every term that appears on a PRUVIQ simulator result, strategy card, or verification dossier — defined in one sentence, located on the screen, and paired with the one trap that makes people misread it. https://pruviq.com/blog/discipline-you-can-enforce/ https://pruviq.com/blog/discipline-you-can-enforce/ Sat, 15 Aug 2026 00:00:00 GMT education Trading discipline that depends on willpower fails exactly when you need it. The structural guards we actually ship — loss limits, streak breakers, warnings you can't dismiss — and how to copy them. https://pruviq.com/blog/how-to-read-sharpe-sortino-mdd/ https://pruviq.com/blog/how-to-read-sharpe-sortino-mdd/ Sat, 15 Aug 2026 00:00:00 GMT quant What Sharpe, Sortino, and max drawdown actually measure in the PRUVIQ simulator, exactly how we compute them, and the three traps — short-window annualization, thin samples, and pick-the-best selection bias — that make good-looking numbers lie. https://pruviq.com/blog/why-backtests-get-funding-fees-wrong/ https://pruviq.com/blog/why-backtests-get-funding-fees-wrong/ Sat, 15 Aug 2026 00:00:00 GMT education Three ways backtests distort perpetual funding — pro-rata approximation, 'shorts always collect', and a flat 0.01% per 8h when measured BTC windows range from 3.07% to 11.63% annualized. Here's the settlement-event model PRUVIQ switched to in August 2026 — because our old code made all three mistakes too. https://pruviq.com/blog/weekly-2026-08-10/ https://pruviq.com/blog/weekly-2026-08-10/ Mon, 10 Aug 2026 00:00:00 GMT weekly Weekly crypto strategy rankings — 26 strategies tested across top-50 coins. https://pruviq.com/blog/weekly-2026-08-03/ https://pruviq.com/blog/weekly-2026-08-03/ Mon, 03 Aug 2026 00:00:00 GMT weekly Weekly crypto strategy rankings — 24 strategies tested across top-50 coins. https://pruviq.com/blog/weekly-2026-07-27/ https://pruviq.com/blog/weekly-2026-07-27/ Mon, 27 Jul 2026 00:00:00 GMT weekly Weekly crypto strategy rankings — 26 strategies tested across top-50 coins. https://pruviq.com/blog/does-donchian-channel-work/ https://pruviq.com/blog/does-donchian-channel-work/ Sun, 26 Jul 2026 00:00:00 GMT autopsy The Donchian breakout is the system the original Turtle traders were taught. We backtested it across 50 coins with fees included and swept all 30 stop-loss and take-profit combinations. None were profitable — and the reason is not what we expected: the strategy hits its take-profit far more often than its stop-loss, and still bleeds. https://pruviq.com/blog/does-heikin-ashi-work/ https://pruviq.com/blog/does-heikin-ashi-work/ Sun, 26 Jul 2026 00:00:00 GMT autopsy Heikin-Ashi candles smooth price into clean runs of colour, which is why they are recommended for spotting trends. We backtested them across 50 coins with fees included. Zero of 30 exit combinations were profitable, and the smoothing produced more trades than any of the other three strategies we graded this week — the opposite of what a cleaner chart implies. https://pruviq.com/blog/does-keltner-squeeze-work/ https://pruviq.com/blog/does-keltner-squeeze-work/ Sun, 26 Jul 2026 00:00:00 GMT autopsy The Keltner squeeze traded roughly a quarter as often as our breakout grids and lost less than the other three strategies we graded this week — and still returned zero profitable configurations out of 30. Selectivity helped. It was not enough. This strategy was subsequently killed after regime-robustness testing (2026-06-28) confirmed the SHORT edge was bear-beta, not a standalone squeeze signal. https://pruviq.com/blog/does-mean-reversion-work-in-crypto/ https://pruviq.com/blog/does-mean-reversion-work-in-crypto/ Sun, 26 Jul 2026 00:00:00 GMT autopsy Mean reversion won 61% of its trades and not one of its 30 exit combinations was profitable. Unlike the breakout grids, this one has a clear gradient: profit factor improves monotonically as the stop widens and the target tightens — which tells you exactly what is killing it. Full data, fees included, across 50 coins. https://pruviq.com/blog/how-to-backtest-on-tradingview-free/ https://pruviq.com/blog/how-to-backtest-on-tradingview-free/ Sun, 26 Jul 2026 00:00:00 GMT education TradingView's Strategy Tester will backtest a strategy without a paid plan, but two limits decide whether the result means anything: it runs one symbol per test, and full-history Deep Backtesting sits behind the paid tier. Here is the free workflow, and what to do when you hit the wall. https://pruviq.com/blog/does-supertrend-work/ https://pruviq.com/blog/does-supertrend-work/ Fri, 24 Jul 2026 00:00:00 GMT autopsy Supertrend is one of the most recommended crypto indicators on YouTube and TradingView. We ran it across 50 coins and every stop-loss/take-profit combination we support — with fees and slippage included. Every single configuration lost money, including the one with a 57% win rate. Here's what the grid actually shows. https://pruviq.com/blog/how-to-verify-crypto-auto-trading/ https://pruviq.com/blog/how-to-verify-crypto-auto-trading/ Fri, 24 Jul 2026 00:00:00 GMT education Auto-trading programs promise hands-free profits, and most of the marketing never survives contact with a full-cost backtest. We run automated strategies on a real exchange account, and this is the exact checklist we apply before any strategy touches money — the same one that made us reject most of our own candidates. https://pruviq.com/blog/okx-grid-bot-review/ https://pruviq.com/blog/okx-grid-bot-review/ Fri, 24 Jul 2026 00:00:00 GMT autopsy Most OKX grid bot reviews are written by affiliates who never traded it. We run real automated strategies on OKX through its API — and we deliberately don't run the grid bot. This review explains the mechanics, what other reviews leave out, and why we rejected the strategy class before it ever earned a backtest, so you can judge the reasoning instead of the screenshots. https://pruviq.com/blog/weekly-2026-07-20/ https://pruviq.com/blog/weekly-2026-07-20/ Mon, 20 Jul 2026 00:00:00 GMT weekly Weekly crypto strategy rankings — 24 strategies tested across top-50 coins. https://pruviq.com/blog/weekly-2026-07-13/ https://pruviq.com/blog/weekly-2026-07-13/ Mon, 13 Jul 2026 00:00:00 GMT weekly Weekly crypto strategy rankings — 27 strategies tested across top-50 coins. https://pruviq.com/blog/weekly-2026-07-06/ https://pruviq.com/blog/weekly-2026-07-06/ Mon, 06 Jul 2026 00:00:00 GMT weekly Weekly crypto strategy rankings — 29 strategies tested across top-50 coins. https://pruviq.com/blog/weekly-2026-06-29/ https://pruviq.com/blog/weekly-2026-06-29/ Mon, 29 Jun 2026 00:00:00 GMT weekly Weekly crypto strategy rankings — 29 strategies tested across top-50 coins. https://pruviq.com/blog/not-one-strategy-beat-buy-and-hold/ https://pruviq.com/blog/not-one-strategy-beat-buy-and-hold/ Sun, 28 Jun 2026 00:00:00 GMT quant Across BTC, ETH, SOL and BNB over nine years — two full bear markets included — we put every strategy head-to-head against simply holding. Not one produced a higher return than buy-and-hold. Here is the full scoreboard, including the one thing that did win — and what 'winning' actually meant. https://pruviq.com/blog/we-stopped-trying-to-beat-the-market/ https://pruviq.com/blog/we-stopped-trying-to-beat-the-market/ Fri, 26 Jun 2026 00:00:00 GMT quant We tested 17 strategy families across 15 research campaigns — every indicator, every pattern, and the unconventional ones nobody runs: rebalancing premiums, volatility harvesting, carry, regime-switching. Directional prediction: zero edge, every time. But changing the question gave us a real, honest answer. https://pruviq.com/blog/weekly-2026-06-22/ https://pruviq.com/blog/weekly-2026-06-22/ Mon, 22 Jun 2026 00:00:00 GMT weekly Weekly crypto strategy rankings — 24 strategies tested across top-50 coins. https://pruviq.com/blog/altcoins-arent-the-answer/ https://pruviq.com/blog/altcoins-arent-the-answer/ Sun, 21 Jun 2026 00:00:00 GMT quant The hope is seductive: majors are too efficient, but small alts are sloppy enough to beat. We tested four liquidity tiers. The inefficiency is real — and the trading cost eats it many times over. The smallest coins are literally untradeable at size. https://pruviq.com/blog/are-crypto-trading-signals-worth-it/ https://pruviq.com/blog/are-crypto-trading-signals-worth-it/ Sun, 21 Jun 2026 00:00:00 GMT education Paid signal groups promise calls that beat the market for a monthly fee. Here's the uncomfortable economics: if someone had a signal that reliably beat the market, selling it to you for $50 a month would be the worst possible use of it. The business model itself is the tell. https://pruviq.com/blog/build-and-verify-any-strategy/ https://pruviq.com/blog/build-and-verify-any-strategy/ Sun, 21 Jun 2026 00:00:00 GMT education Most people argue about strategies.

We won't tell you it's impossible — but the math of edges and costs makes it far harder than the highlight reels suggest. Here's what actually has to be true. https://pruviq.com/blog/do-fibonacci-retracements-work/ https://pruviq.com/blog/do-fibonacci-retracements-work/ Sun, 21 Jun 2026 00:00:00 GMT autopsy Price 'respects' the 0.618 level — until it doesn't. Fibonacci retracements feel mystical and look precise. But there's no mechanism for why a medieval rabbit-breeding ratio would predict crypto prices, and the data behaves exactly like every other support level: it works in hindsight and fails forward. https://pruviq.com/blog/do-head-and-shoulders-patterns-work/ https://pruviq.com/blog/do-head-and-shoulders-patterns-work/ Sun, 21 Jun 2026 00:00:00 GMT autopsy Head and shoulders, double tops, flags, wedges — chart patterns are the visual heart of technical analysis. But there's a problem no pattern-trading course mentions: no two traders draw the same pattern, and the data behaves like every other directional signal. We explain why. https://pruviq.com/blog/does-copy-trading-work/ https://pruviq.com/blog/does-copy-trading-work/ Sun, 21 Jun 2026 00:00:00 GMT education Copy trading lets you mirror a top trader's positions automatically. The pitch is compelling: ride the experts. But leaderboards are built to be gamed, survivorship bias hides the blowups, and the incentives often point away from your interests. Here's how to look at it honestly. https://pruviq.com/blog/does-grid-trading-work/ https://pruviq.com/blog/does-grid-trading-work/ Sun, 21 Jun 2026 00:00:00 GMT autopsy Grid bots promise to profit from sideways chop by buying low and selling high on autopilot. The backtests look smooth and the equity curve climbs steadily — until one move erases months of gains. Here's why grid trading is short volatility in disguise, and what that costs you. https://pruviq.com/blog/does-macd-work/ https://pruviq.com/blog/does-macd-work/ Sun, 21 Jun 2026 00:00:00 GMT autopsy MACD crossovers, histogram flips, divergences — a whole language built on one indicator. We backtested MACD signal-line crossovers across 391 coins in our initial research. The win rate was 50%, a literal coin flip, and after fees it lost. Here's why a derivative of two moving averages can't see the future. https://pruviq.com/blog/does-rsi-work-for-crypto/ https://pruviq.com/blog/does-rsi-work-for-crypto/ Sun, 21 Jun 2026 00:00:00 GMT autopsy Buy when RSI drops below 30, sell when it crosses 70 — the most popular oscillator strategy there is. We tested RSI oversold/overbought entries across 391 coins in our initial research. The win rate was 47%, and the edge after a beta-strip was negative. The reason is a property of RSI everyone forgets. https://pruviq.com/blog/does-the-golden-cross-work/ https://pruviq.com/blog/does-the-golden-cross-work/ Sun, 21 Jun 2026 00:00:00 GMT autopsy The golden cross — the 50-day moving average crossing above the 200-day — is the most famous bullish signal in trading. We backtested moving-average crossovers across 391 coins in our initial research. After fees and a beta-strip, the edge was zero. Here's the data and the reason. https://pruviq.com/blog/does-volume-predict-price/ https://pruviq.com/blog/does-volume-predict-price/ Sun, 21 Jun 2026 00:00:00 GMT quant 'Volume precedes price' is trading gospel. We tested whether volume actually forecasts direction across 121 coins. The honest answer: volume carries a little real information — but not enough to beat trading costs. Here's the nuance most debunkings miss. https://pruviq.com/blog/is-scalping-profitable/ https://pruviq.com/blog/is-scalping-profitable/ Sun, 21 Jun 2026 00:00:00 GMT quant Scalping promises many small wins that add up. The problem is arithmetic: the more often you trade, the more times you pay the fee, and at high frequency the cost is larger than any edge a retail trader can find. Here's why scalping is the hardest game to win — and who actually wins it. https://pruviq.com/blog/the-only-edge-that-survived/ https://pruviq.com/blog/the-only-edge-that-survived/ Sun, 21 Jun 2026 00:00:00 GMT quant We beta-stripped every directional strategy and they all died.

The case for being the house instead of the gambler. https://pruviq.com/blog/trendlines-dont-bounce/ https://pruviq.com/blog/trendlines-dont-bounce/ Sun, 21 Jun 2026 00:00:00 GMT autopsy Drawing a line under the lows and buying the touch is the most-taught chart pattern there is. We tested it across 391 coins and 116,400 trades in our initial research. The win rate was 39%. Here's why trendlines look perfect in hindsight and fail going forward. https://pruviq.com/blog/we-tested-everything-heres-the-verdict/ https://pruviq.com/blog/we-tested-everything-heres-the-verdict/ Sun, 21 Jun 2026 00:00:00 GMT quant Indicators, patterns, timeframes, exits, coin types, combinations, machine learning, options.
