Crypto Overview

Wick Slicer IQ works, and you can prove it yourself.

Wick Slicer IQ comes with its own backtester, allowing you to verify the accuracy of Wick Slicer IQ before deciding to use it.

Tip

For quick verification of Wick Slicer IQ's performance, just take a look at the top-right table showing the profit factor for longs and the bottom-right table showing the profit factor for shorts.

Settings

All cryptocurrency performance tests will use the following settings:

Generally, cryptocurrency brokerages provided tiered-fees. The lowest-tier maker fee (worst maker fee) across most brokerages is 0.02% - which will be used for all cryptocurrency backtests. If you're account has a higher VIP level and lower fees, then the historical performance of Wick Slicer IQ will be even better for your account!

Additionally, a slippage of 2 ticks is used. These settings are used to account for real-world trading conditions and better simulate a realistic application of Wick Slicer IQ. Our backtests will take place in highly-liquid markets, so it's realistic to leave "Verify Price For Limit Orders" at 0 ticks. In less liquid markets, where an order might not fill immediately, it's important to use this setting!

Additionally, we chose an initial balance of $1000 and using 100% of capital per trade. These conditions were selected to show the effects of compounding performance and simulate common leverage amounts such as 20x, 50x, 100x.

Note

You have complete control over verifying the accuracy of Wick Slicer IQ. You can change the commission value to the real commissions you pay, increase slippage, and more.

Tip

When looking at backtest data, the dollar-amount profit and dollar-amount drawdown are less important than other metrics, as the raw-dollar amount profit and raw-dollar amount drawdown are highly specific to the trader's balance. Instead, it's more important to evaluate percentage metrics and ratio metrics, such as the profit percentage, profit factor, and drawdown percentage - these metrics are relatively consistent across various balances. Additionally, risk-performance metrics such as the Sharpe Ratio are good indications of a strategy's viability.

Note

All of our backtests will show a green line. The green line is the performance of Wick Slicer IQ. Some of our backtests will include a blue line. The blue line is the buy-and-hold performance of the asset. What's important here is that the green equity curve (Wick Slicer IQ) outperforms the blue equity curve (asset). If it does, this means Wick Slicer IQ is more profitable than simply buying the asset and holding it!
