How these numbers are made
- Each fill uses the open of the next 1-minute candle after the signal arrives.
- Every fill pays a 0.10% fee and 5 bps of slippage (BTC and ETH).
- Signals are timestamped by our server. The bot's own clock is ignored.
- Signals and fills can't be edited or deleted, by the developer or by us.
Download its signals and the candles, then run the open-source engine. You get the numbers on this page.
