Union across the coin set — each coin contributes from wherever our collected data for it starts, so no single coin covers the whole span.
No stop-loss / take-profit combination was profitable for this strategy in this window. We publish that result anyway — that is the point of verifying.
Honesty note: 'best' here is picked inside this window — that is in-sample selection, and our own re-tests show in-window picks can invert in other windows. Read this grid as a map of the past, not a setting to deploy; a combination earns trust only by surviving forward, out of this window.

Methodology
Each cell reruns the identical strategy over the same data with only the stop-loss and take-profit percentages changed. All trades settle with fees and slippage applied. A profit factor below 1 means the combination lost money. Past performance does not guarantee future results.
