39 Trades, 10 Hypotheses — and the Top-Matching Strategy Rests on Just 3 Data Points

Using my self-built quant platform AlphaTrace, I ran 39 on-chain trades through 10 competing strategy hypotheses. The top-ranked hypothesis, funding_oi_signal, is propped up by only 3 valid data points and has the weakest explanatory power of all ten — it wins simply because it's the simplest.

Upfront conclusion: no open-source project runs Pine Script locally and renders like TV, but once you port the strategy to Python, these tools replicate — and in some ways exceed — TV's backtest display.
