NO EDGE

The bet: buy the dip / mean-reversion.

[ WHY WE REJECTED IT ]

All eight coins came back with a negative out-of-sample Sharpe and a trade-level t-statistic below -2 — a statistically significant loss, not a bad run. The in-sample and out-of-sample results were about equal, which means it never had an edge to lose: this is "never had it," not decay. The BTC and ETH controls were the worst of the set.

[ THE MECHANISM ]

A faithful port of superbot’s dominant live strategy: buy deeper as RSI falls (dip-buying / mean-reversion), long-only. On this universe the dips kept going, so averaging into weakness just accumulated losers — and a 0.30% round-trip cost across ~400 trades per coin ground away whatever was left.

[ WHAT'S LIVE ]

This was our live flagship. A 14-day live run lost -$0.37 over 110 trades at a 32.7% win rate — the backtest verdict reproduced in production. The runner was stopped 2026-06-02 and is now parked. We keep a small version running and fully visible on the track record on purpose, specifically because we graded it negative — rather than quietly retiring the inconvenient one.

[ VERDICT ]
NO EDGE

Losing and statistically significant on all 8 coins. This was our live flagship.
