Our signals, graded against real price history
Anyone can claim their signals work. We ran ours over 5.0 years of daily candles across 47 coins and graded every one — then split the results by bull and bear markets so you can see the edge isn't just a rising tide.

MACD line crosses above its signal line — momentum turning up.
MACD line crosses below its signal line — momentum turning down.
RSI(14) pushes into overbought territory (≥ 70) — elevated pullback risk.
RSI(14) drops into oversold territory (≤ 30) — historically a bounce zone.
50-day SMA crosses below the 200-day SMA — a classic long-term downtrend signal.
50-day SMA crosses above the 200-day SMA — a classic long-term uptrend signal.
How we measure this
- Universe & window. 47 top coins, daily candles from Jun 2021 to May 2026.
- Trigger. Each signal is counted only on the bar it transitions (e.g. RSI crossing below 30), never every day it stays there — so the sample reflects fresh signals, not double-counts.
- Grading. We take the closing price the day a signal fires and compare it to the close 7 and 30 days later. A bullish signal “wins” if price rose; a bearish signal wins if it fell. Average return is signed in the signal's favour.
- Measured against a baseline. Over this window the market rose, so simply buying on any random day returned +2.8% in 30 days. A signal only has real edge if it beats that — which is why we show the baseline next to every number, and split everything by bull/bear regime.
- Bull vs bear. A day is “bull” when Bitcoin closed above its 200-day moving average, “bear” when below — the standard market-regime proxy. Each signal is bucketed by the regime on the day it fired.
- Same maths as live. The exact RSI, MACD and moving-average code that grades history is what powers the live screener and alerts — nothing is cherry-picked. No fees, slippage or position sizing are modelled.

Past performance is not a prediction. These figures are a historical back-test of mechanical signal rules over past price data — they do not include fees or slippage, ignore position sizing, and are not a strategy you can blindly trade. Crypto is volatile; signals fail. This is educational, not financial advice. Always do your own research. See our methodology for how each indicator is computed.
