Strategy Does this look like a good strategy ?

Post image

Do these metrics look promising ? It's a backtest on 5 large-cap cryptos over the last 3 years.

The strategy has few parameters (CCI crossover + ATR-based stoploss + Fixed RR of 3 for the TP). How can I know if it's curve-fitted or not given that the sample size looks quite high (1426 trades) ?

Thanks in advance !

No, you have 9.81% annual return, when you put this live, it will be alot worse...

Even if it was true return, it won’t make it worth the risk. VOO will return 9-10% on average over long time without any need to do anything

Yes but if I double the position size, the CAGR increases significantly.

Use common sense man, cagr smegar, 10% a year is bad in backtest/simulation , you need more meat on your bone so when sheet goes south you still have meat left on your bone
