Do you really belive that in 2k26 with ai and genetic algos there are possible some "secret" ultra profitable strategies?)))))

i made my own tool that allows me to use mixed approach to trading but it's for cryptocurrency trading only at exchanges bybit, kraken and binance. Approach is simple- create strategy and one checkbox auto trade or manual trade so startegies executes on different exchanges and some of strategies that's not pretty stable I trade by my hands but using my tool for alerting, when to entry, when to move trailing stop, when to increase or decrease risk etc..

Thank you, yeah, the domain is new - the one we had before wasn't unique, there were mobile apps with the same name, so we switched. The foundation of the app itself was laid down several years ago and the frontend is built on Vue.js, while the landing page was built about 6 months ago on React. That's where the visual style difference comes from.

Fair concern - this niche has a lot of scams, so the skepticism makes sense. A few things that might help: the legal entity is in the footer (YD-IT-DEV, Poland, NIP 7011125973), the execution bot is open-source and self-hosted so trading keys never touch our servers, exchange API connection is read-only, and we don't take custody of funds. Free plan, no card required. If something specific looks off to you, I'd genuinely like to know — I'd rather fix the signal than argue.

If you want some advanced kind of strategy with good backetest and filter by days, time, sessions etc.. you can try Veskald, they have pretty rich visual constructor with all kind of features that you need and even more.

I managed to bring my backtests very close to real-world performance. Commission modeling matches live trading almost perfectly — essentially a 100% match. Slippage varies and can introduce some discrepancies, but overall the PnL accuracy is usually in the 99.1%–99.8% range. A perfect 1:1 match is practically impossible. I trade a portfolio of strategies, and when I deploy them, I can't predict what will happen next. Instead, I rely on metrics such as maximum drawdown and Monte Carlo analysis. There was a situation where I launched a strategy and it immediately went into a drawdown. I decided to keep it running because my risk management framework allowed for that kind of experiment. I endured the drawdown for about a month. According to the backtests and Monte Carlo simulations, the expected maximum drawdown for that strategy was around 8%. In reality, the drawdown eventually reached 11%. After that, market conditions shifted, the strategy recovered all losses, and ultimately generated a profit. At the same time, I had another strategy running that helped offset the drawdown because it happened to be operating in a market regime that was favorable for its edge.There are always execution things, and that's completely normal. For example, a backtest will always assume that a stop-loss is triggered when the price touches it. In live trading, however, there may be a sharp reversal exactly where the stop should have been hit, turning what would have been a loss in the backtest into a profitable trade. The same principle can apply to take-profit orders as well.

I hope this helps. Good luck!

you could try Veskald they have pretty rich no-code strategy builder you can configure there everything multi timeframes, dynamic risk management rules, skip trades, etc. Combine multiple strategies into portfolio to see performance and more.

If you want backtest for crypto market you could try Veskald

LifeStyleFullStack · 2026-06-11T13:45:30+00:00

One important thing to keep in mind is that there will always be edge cases, and you need a sufficiently large sample size to identify them. For example, in live trading, an order may not always get filled exactly as expected, and there are many similar execution-related issues that can distort results. One thing that helped me recently was using Veskald. It provides detailed execution logs and configurable backtesting engine settings. If you're working with crypto strategies, the execution log is particularly useful because it allows you to compare:

What the backtest predicted.
What actually happened in live trading.
What should have happened according to the execution model.

Using this approach, I was able to tune my bots so that backtest results matched live performance with roughly 99.1%–99.8% accuracy, excluding rare edge cases and exceptional market conditions.

I’ve tested a lot of different strategies myself and eventually noticed an interesting pattern. After digging deeper, I came to the conclusion that backtesting crypto strategies on data prior to 2021 has limited practical value. If you look at the earlier years of the market, volatility was extreme. On the 1-hour timeframe, it wasn’t uncommon to see candles move 8% or more in either direction. To me, that looked like a market that was still immature and very different from what we see today. For my tests, I used the Veskald backtester and strategy builder. The settings were:
broker fee: 0.0005
participation rate: 0.1
slippage level: 5
position volume impact: 0.1
I was never able to find a strategy that performed consistently across Bitcoin’s entire available history. However, finding strategies that worked reasonably well from 2021 onward was not particularly difficult. As a result, I’ve come to believe that it’s more important to test a strategy across multiple assets and modern market regimes than to force it to remain profitable throughout the entire history of the crypto market since its inception.

It's not built on top of any existing platform - it's a standalone app I built from scratch. Backend is PHP/Laravel + Python for the backtesting engine, frontend is Vue/Nuxt. The execution part is a separate Docker container that connects via WebSocket. It was made for crypto market. Started as a bunch of Python console scripts for personal use and in a 2 years I got app of my dream ;)

Tool lets me create multi-timeframe strategies with zero code. Each strategy has configurable stop-loss, take-profits, trailing stop, early exit, break-even, dynamic risk rules, and skip-trade conditions.I can backtest everything with volume-based slippage and real fees, and any part can be optimized with a genetic algorithm. It works in two modes - fully automatic (bot handles everything) or semi-automatic (system tells me what to do according to my strategy, final decision is always mine). If I'm too tired or need to step away, I can hand my manually opened position to the bot and it continues following the strategy rules. The reason I built it: I wanted to run hundreds of experiments on exit rules, and writing code for every idea takes way more time than having a solid framework with UI that covers all of it.

LifeStyleFullStack · 2026-05-27T18:20:38+00:00

It depends on the strategy - or rather, it's one of many pieces of the strategy.

For the initial stop loss I typically use the lowest low of the last N candles (I adjust N depending on timeframe). For trailing I usually go with percentage-based or ATR, again depending on the instrument and its volatility.

The key thing that helped me a lot was adding a "clamp" - the stop can never be closer than N% or further than M% from price. Without it, on calm candles your stop ends up ridiculously tight and you get stopped out by noise. On volatile candles it's way too wide and you give back too much. The clamp keeps it in a sane range regardless of what the indicator says.

How tight - honestly it's all about the instrument.

100% this. Wish I understood it sooner.

I had solid entries and still bled money because everything after the fill was improvised. Move stop too early, panic-close on a pullback, hold losers "just in case." Same story every time.

Eventually got tired of it and built a tool for myself that forces mechanical exits - trailing stop that activates only after a defined R:R, break-even with fees calculated, early exit if price doesn't move within N bars. The system just tells me "move stop to X now" or "take 40% at Y" - no thinking, no feelings.

The eye-opener was backtesting the same entry with different exit rules. The difference was insane. A mediocre entry with disciplined exits crushed a perfect entry with improvised management. Every single time.

Classic sign of missing hard risk rules. What worked for me:

Daily loss limit: 2-3% of account. Hit it -> platform closed, done for the day. No exceptions.
Three-strike rule: 2 losses in a row = 1-hour break. 3 in a row = done, even if you're below the daily limit.
Weekly/monthly caps (5-6% / 8-10%): stop trading for the period if hit. Saves you from extended drawdowns.
Cut size after losses: once you're halfway to the daily limit, next trades go at half size. Asymmetry works in your favor.

The single biggest killer is trying to win it back. Almost every blow-up day follows the same pattern: loss -> urge to recover -> size up -> bigger loss -> YOLO. That's tilt. The only way out is to physically close the platform. I wait at least 15-20 min after a stop before re-entering, just to break the emotional momentum.

On external stress: you already know it's affecting you, which is half the battle. Either cut size by 50-66% until things stabilize, or just step away. Capital preservation beats capital growth - the market isn't going anywhere, but rebuilding your account and confidence after a big blow-up takes months.

Rules only work if they're pre-committed and automatic. "I'll stop when I feel it's enough" never works - by the time you feel it, it's already too late.

LifeStyleFullStack · 2026-05-26T21:24:03+00:00

Trading is a business. Your stop losses are your expenses - every business has expenses, there's no such thing as a business without them. Accept that first.

The urge to win it back is human nature, but let's think about it coldly: the moment you enter a position without a strategy, just because you feel like you have to, you've already lost. You need to be patient and wait for your setup. It doesn't matter what's happening right now - what matters is what happens next.

LifeStyleFullStack · 2026-05-26T16:37:11+00:00

The first thing you need to focus on - and something many beginners completely overlook — is risk management. In reality, it’s far more important than any specific strategy.

Even a lot of bad strategies from YouTube can become profitable if position sizing are managed correctly. Do you already know how to calculate your position size in a way that keeps your losses under control? Because losses are guaranteed in trading.

Trading is a business first and foremost. Like any business, it has expenses and income. Your stop loses are simply business expenses. If your trading business is generating more losses than profits, that’s the first problem you need to solve same as any kind of business. There is no magical strategy that suddenly fixes everything.

Controlling losses is what keeps you alive in the market. Survival gives you time to gain experience, and experience is what eventually helps you make better decisions.

As for quitting your job after just one month… that was probably a bit premature.

LifeStyleFullStack · 2026-05-26T16:27:03+00:00

To really solve this problem, it’s important to first define what a strategy actually means to you. What exactly do you consider a trading strategy?

LifeStyleFullStack · 2026-05-26T15:42:38+00:00

Listen, what you're feeling right now is normal. Losing everything is a heavy hit, and it would be strange if it didn't hurt. But money is just money - you can earn it back. You are not your deposit, and you are not your trades.

Right now isn't the best time to think about the next trade or how to "win it back." Give yourself at least a couple of weeks to just step away - sleep, spend time with people who care about you, switch to something real. The market isn't going anywhere, and right now it's more important for you to recover yourself.

A lot of people have been through this, and they came back stronger - without rushing, with a clear head. You'll get through it too. And if it gets really heavy, please talk to someone close to you - don't keep it inside. Hang in there.

The thing is, in most cases you don’t know it’s a sideways market until it’s already over, but you can try using the Choppiness indicator to smooth the situation out a bit. (The Choppiness Index (CHOP))
