Title: I tested 17 Advanced + 15 Neural Net Trading Strategies with Top 30 Coins from J
Post by: deandree on August 19, 2019, 01:48:21 PM
I have collected the most popular open source strategies (for Gekko platform) and I am constantly testing them and sharing results in my Medium posts. (https://medium.com/@deandree)


In my latest post (https://medium.com/@deandree/crypto-trading-2019-half-year-review-17-advanced-15-neural-net-strategies-tested-part-9-1b737b93490f), I look back at the first half of 2019 and backtest the strategies against time period from Jan 1st to Jul 1st. I have imported data for Top 30 coins (based on Market Cap) and I'm using 32 strategies for testing.


For traders who like to automate their business, Gekko should be familiar name, but for everyone else - Gekko is one of the most popular open source Crypto trading platforms out there.
I would describe it as an execution platform for YOUR strategies, not a bot that you brainlessly launch and it does everything for you while you browse lambo.com trying to decide between yellow and orange.

Let me know if this is useful to you. Thanks!

Good analysis, I did not read the entire article but it seems you have made an effort, not just buying and choosing your lamboo color. :P
There are some mistakes in understanding the characteristics of some currencies, for example, the article mentioned that MKR at the bottom even though it is designed to be a stable currency.
Some currencies rose because the total number of these currencies is limited, unlike some unlimited one.
Also, service currencies "BNB" cannot be performed because they are not used for their own use but as fees.

Thanks!

As for MKR, from my research:
Quote
Maker (MKR) is a token that gives voting rights to the borrowing system that is used to generate the decentralized stable coin Dai.
So MKR itself isn't stable coin, and it's not meant to be. It's token for another stable coin. Also, if you look at the price you can see it fluctuates way to much to call it stable.

As for BNB, it's purpose doesn't matter. If you can trade it, you can make profit or lose. It's tradeable. Which means it's usable for trading system tests.

Really nice work! Can't imagine how much time this took!
What do you think about testing beyond Top30 coins? Is there a legitimate reason to not go lower in the ranks? Isn't there like a higher chance of big boom down there?
