This is the empirical update for LynxCrypto. The previous tools post covered the methodology; this one is the complete record of actually running that methodology on a strategy: MacdCross-4h, the only survivor across 14 strategies x 4 timeframes, just passed the walk-forward final review and earned its ticket into paper trading. 1. Cold Water First: Why “Backtest +1072” Is Worthless Let’s align on a fact many people don’t want to accept: any “full-sample backtest w

LynxCrypto Kicks Off (Part 2): I Turned the Strategy Into Code, Then Falsified It Myself

This is the opening post of the LynxCrypto crypto quant trading series. Part 1 makes three things clear: what I actually went through yesterday, all the knowledge needed to build this system, and a development roadmap plus dev prompts you can put to work immediately. Part 2 will be the implementation. 1. Opening Bell: My Real Ledger Facts first, no sugarcoating. Yesterday I opened a grid on ZECUSDT perpetuals — 200 grids, price range $800–2,000, with a Martingale position-adding variant. After
