Backtest Methodology (Hyperliquid)

This backtest simulates how the strategy would have performed on Hyperliquid using realistic leverage, fees, and position sizing.

  • Market data: Historical OHLCV data with indicator warm-up periods. Trades are only opened during valid trading windows, and low-quality data periods are skipped.

  • Strategy parameters: Each asset uses pre-optimized parameters, including take-profit, stop-loss, and leverage. Trades are entered only when all strategy conditions are met.

  • Capital usage: Every trade uses a fixed budget with leverage applied, rather than the full account balance.

  • Position sizing: Notional = fixed trade budget × leverage, with position size derived from market price.*

  • Fees & PnL: Fees are charged on notional value at both entry and exit, matching Hyperliquid's live fee model. Entry fees reduce equity immediately; exit fees are included in realized PnL.

  • Equity & metrics: Performance metrics are calculated from an event-based equity curve, ensuring accurate drawdown and risk statistics.

  • Scope & limits: Assets are backtested independently with no shared margin or portfolio-level constraints.

This approach prioritizes realistic execution and transparent performance measurement at the individual asset level.
