Methodology. Past performance of the Alpha Trader strategy on BTC, ETH, SOL, XRP over 8.7 years (9,039 trades). Each trade risks a fixed 1% of a $10,000 account (1R = 1%); returns are summed, not compounded. Costs use real Hyperliquid maker/taker fees calibrated to live fills (≈0.079R per trade) with the exchange's 10× notional cap. Trade exits are resolved on 5-minute candles with no same-candle look-ahead — a take-profit can never fill on the same candle as entry, the strictest (most conservative) assumption; stop-losses are always checked before take-profits. Win rate, profit factor and per-pair figures are net of fees. Monte Carlo bootstraps the realized per-trade sequence over 10,000 paths.

Disclaimer. Past performance does not guarantee future results. Figures are based on the strategy's historical signals at a fixed 1% risk per trade and may not reflect live execution slippage in all market conditions. This document is for informational purposes only and is not financial advice.
