TheForce +189% and Ichimoku V1 +143%: Our Strongest Backtested Strategies

64 Tested, 19 Passed

For BotTrade.app, we put 64 trading strategies through extensive backtesting — over 6 months with historical price data, 10 cryptocurrencies, and $10,000 starting capital.

The results were both sobering and encouraging: Only 19 strategies met our quality criteria. Of those, 8 are profitable. Two are exceptional.

TheForce: +189% in 6 Months

TheForce combines three proven indicators: the Stochastic Oscillator, MACD, and a 200 EMA filter. The strategy trades on the 15-minute chart and is very active with over 3,000 trades in 6 months.

What makes it special? The triple confirmation. A trade only opens when all three indicators agree. This filters out many false signals.

The numbers: 3,193 trades, 48% win rate, profit factor 1.39. The sub-50% win rate sounds low at first — but the winners are on average significantly larger than the losers.

Ichimoku V1: +143% in 6 Months

Ichimoku V1 uses the Ichimoku Cloud with an additional fan indicator for volume analysis. It trades on the 5-minute chart and is quieter than TheForce with 507 trades.

The Ichimoku Cloud is one of the most complete indicator systems in trading. It simultaneously shows trend direction, momentum, and support/resistance zones. The fan indicator adds the volume component that classic Ichimoku lacks.

Honest Disclaimer

Backtesting shows the past — not the future. Standard spot fees (0.1% per trade) are included in the results. Slippage and funding rates for leveraged trading are not included.

Our tip: Use the fee simulator in backtesting to get a more realistic picture. And always test every strategy in paper trading mode first before activating it.
