TL;DR
This recipe buys Ethereum with 40% and Bitcoin with 60% of available buying power each day. Those percentages describe purchases, not fixed portfolio weights. Across fifteen archived execution groups, only four had paired benchmarks, and none had a positive median return difference. The first group, March 2025 through March 2026, returned negative 5.29% with 55.96% maximum drawdown. Fees were unrecorded, and later groups used different dates and starting capital.
Existing backtests of these exact recorded rules
Explore all archived periods and matching recorded setups
We matched this public template's complete ordered conditions and actions to the existing September archive. 15 recorded execution groups match its thresholds, indicator operands, assets and allocations. No new backtest was created for this page.
Every matching recorded period appears below, including losses. Each row groups repeated submissions with the same recorded dates, tickers, capital, fees, cadence, interval, baseline and risk-free input. Median outcomes and their range describe those submissions; repeated copies are not independent experiments.
The first group records Day/daily; crypto; BTC-USD, ETH-USD; stock fee unrecorded; crypto fee unrecorded; recorded risk-free 4.340000152587891. Save your chosen settings alongside a new run, including any field shown as unrecorded in the archive.
To inspect your completed run, follow rule activation, order execution, fractional quantities and dividend entries in the events. Keep those settings with the result when comparing another version.
A useful first experiment
Start with $10,000.00 and the period 2025-03-15 through 2026-03-16. Keep the template unchanged for your first test.
1. Open the template
Select the library button, inspect the rules and choose Use template. Keep the original assets, conditions and action amounts.
2. Set up one test
Open the backtester, enter the dates and capital above, and save the interval, fees and benchmark you select alongside the result.
3. Read the completed result
Compare return and drawdown with the benchmark, then inspect the orders and costs. If no orders occur, check the conditions and data coverage.
4. Try one change
Keep your first configuration as a reference. Change one threshold or allocation and test a separate period before considering paper trading.

What to learn from this recipe
Compare each rule's percentage of buying power with the resulting recorded holdings. The percentages describe purchases when the actions run. Rule order alone does not establish fill sequence or a fixed dollar split. Keep the same fees and starting capital when testing another allocation.
Explore the recorded comparisons
Inspect benchmark comparisons and drawdown periods
4 of 15 execution groups have recorded paired baseline outcomes. 0 of those 4 groups have a positive median return difference against their recorded baseline. Inspect each group's dates, assets and costs alongside those outcomes.
The lowest group median was -40.94% over 2025-06-29 through 2026-06-30, with $3.30 initial test capital. Inspect that period alongside the positive rows before choosing this template.
The table preserves the stored Sharpe values and records each group's risk-free input separately. Use those fields when comparing runs.

Read test settings and troubleshooting
Open this recipe using the button above and preview its rules. Choose Use template for a built-in entry, or Add to portfolio for a saved entry. Keep the original rules for your first test. Choose a historical period, starting capital, interval, fees and benchmark in the portfolio backtester. After completion, inspect its chart, trades and drawdown.
A completed test should show the selected period, orders and portfolio statistics. If it records no trades, inspect the entry conditions and selected assets before loosening rules. If market data is missing or the run fails, keep the error and fix the coverage issue before comparing results. Changing a threshold or allocation changes the strategy. Keep the original definition and compare changes on a separate period rather than selecting settings from one favorable result.
