Cryptokie vs. the Market

Historical paper-performance results are temporarily under methodology review. Cryptokie identified execution-cost assumptions that materially affected the previously displayed simulated results. Historical records are being preserved and independently reconciled rather than silently rewritten.

Today's Research Highlight

Momentum Exit

Whether alternative handling of the existing Momentum Exit could improve profit capture or reduce give-back without creating worse downstream trade outcomes.

Trade-count gate: MET — 8,070 clean observations

Calendar gate: MET — 78.37 clean days

Evidence status: Sample minimum reached — analysis is statistically eligible.

Why it matters: Momentum Exit is one of Cryptokie's most frequently used exit rules, so even small differences in its economics can accumulate across many trades.

What remains unresolved: Whether the pattern holds across enough distinct market days to rule out a lucky run, and whether it survives realistic execution costs.

No conclusion yet -- the study is still collecting evidence.

Research Reality Check

Cryptokie's paper accounting has been independently reconciled. We are now prospectively measuring real-world spread, fee, liquidity, and latency effects before making any claims about customer execution.

Educational Insight — Drawdown

A drawdown is the drop from a peak to a subsequent trough, expressed as a percentage. It matters more than most single-day returns because recovering from a deep drawdown requires a disproportionately larger gain: a 50% loss needs a 100% gain just to get back to even. Judging any strategy — automated or manual — by its worst drawdown, and how long recovery took, is often more informative than its best month. Simulated results in particular should always be read alongside their maximum drawdown, never in isolation.
