Returns compound year-over-year. Each year's gains become next year's starting capital. Long + Short mode: long alts in bull, short alts in bear, BTC overlay on idle cash.

Treat 2020–2021 as an outlier

The 2020–2021 bull run produced extreme outlier returns that inflate compounded totals dramatically. In 2021, the Aggressive tier backtested at +2636%. We show them for transparency, but the "Current Cycle" view reflects realistic expectations.

Where Returns Come From

Three independent strategies working together on shared capital.

Long Alts (1X LEV)*
Buy altcoins flagged by the scanner. Hold for the default period, then close.
BTC Overlay (1X LEV)*
Cash not in alt trades goes into a BTC position during bull regimes, earning yield while waiting for the next signal.
Shorts (1X LEV)*
Short weak alts during bear regimes. This is how the system stays profitable when markets crash.

*Leverage used per position for the selected simulation portfolio. The Conservative tier uses no leverage.
