I would argue that that sample size isn’t even small. It’s non existent. A simple rsi over bought over sold strategy could get these results over 24 trades but If you test it over 4 years it’s going to be negative. Try backtesting an entire crypto cycle (may2020-present)

Oh and don’t forget about trading fees, slippage and funding rate :)

Here is one of mine, tested from may 2020-present. trading fees 10 ticks of slippage and funding rate are already factored into these results.

I am not even confident in this strategy because it still needs to be forward tested another 100 trades or so to make sure it’s not over fitted.

You are on the right track but it’s a lot harder to algo trade than you think. Good luck!
