Why timeframe: fees

Every trade pays 0.11%, so the more often a setting trades, the more the fee takes out of its result. 15m: settings averaged 164 trades, so fees took about 18.0 percentage points, and 34% of the settings that were positive before fees stayed positive after. 30m: settings averaged 76 trades, so fees took about 8.4 percentage points, and 92% of the settings that were positive before fees stayed positive after. 1h: settings averaged 38 trades, so fees took about 4.2 percentage points, and 91% of the settings that were positive before fees stayed positive after. 4h: settings averaged 11 trades, so fees took about 1.2 percentage points, and 93% of the settings that were positive before fees stayed positive after.

BB Best Settings for 4h: Default vs Top Settings Backtested (Fees Included)

Image
BB (Bollinger Bands) behaved very differently by timeframe. Over the past 90 days, 90% of setting combinations finished positive after fees on 4h, but only 11% did on 15m. We ran all 1,400 setting combinations on 10 coins (BTC, ETH, SOL, XRP, BNB, DOGE, ADA, LINK, SUI and HYPE) across 15m, 30m, 1h and 4h, with a 0.11% fee taken out of every trade. The figures in this post are as of 2026-10-17, and every result is recomputed nightly with fresh data. What does BB actually measure? Bollinger Bands (BB) are a volatility tool developed by John Bollinger. The middle line is a simple moving average of the close, and the upper and lower bands sit a multiple of the standard deviation of the close above and below it.
