I’m not a trader. I built my own backtesting engine and UI to see if I could code a winning strategy.
The screenshots show BTC-USD at 10x leverage. This 3-month run is +56%, but I’m seeing similar consistency across a full year of data.
The Stats:
- Max Drawdown:
The Reality Check: I'm a novice, so I assume I've made a "newbie" mistake.
- Is my slippage/spread calculation too optimistic?
- What’s the most common bug that makes an equity curve look this clean?
Looking for blunt advice. I’d rather find the bug in my code than lose my money in the market.

EDIT: 3 year backtesting...seems not realistic, but I checked the strategy multiple and multiple times, also the paper trading, seems legit...but it's not possible right?
