Methodology

Data

We use candles (OHLC) from Bybit's USDT perpetual (linear) market. Timeframes are 15m, 30m, 1h and 4h; the coins are BTC, ETH, SOL and XRP.

Period

We always look at the most recent 90 days. Because everything is recomputed nightly, the numbers for the same setting shift a little from day to day. The date in each post is the calculation date.

Strategy rules

Each strategy uses the entry and exit rules of its original script on TradingView, unchanged. Only the inputs differ between setting combinations; the rules stay the same. Our trade lists are checked trade-for-trade against TradingView. Each indicator page links to the original script.

Costs

A 0.11% fee is deducted from every trade. Slippage and funding fees are not included, so the fee weighs more on short timeframes, where trades are more frequent.

Numbers in the tables

  • Return (%): over 90 days, each trade's % result minus the 0.11% fee, simply added up. No compounding, no position size
  • Win rate: the share of trades that ended positive after the fee
  • Trades: cells with few trades are more likely to reflect chance
  • Max drawdown (MDD): the largest fall of that running total from its peak, including the worst point while a position was open

Reading the numbers

  • Past results make no promise about the future.
  • Don't look only at the single highest cell in a grid. An area where neighbouring cells hold up together means more.
  • A different exchange, candle source or fee will give different results.
  • These numbers are reference material, not a recommendation to trade.

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. TradingView's defaults are a length of 20 and a multiplier of 2. The bands widen when volatility rises and tighten when the market calms down. A touch of the lower band means price has stretched further below its recent average than usual. That makes it a common trigger for ...
