Athena trades cryptocurrency markets 24 hours a day, 7 days a week — including weekends. This backtest uses real historical crypto price data to simulate how your configured strategy and selected coins would have performed. Unlike stocks, crypto never closes, meaning both opportunities and risks are constant. Results are simulated without leverage unless specified.
Crypto Backtest NoticeCryptocurrency markets are among the most volatile in the world. A coin that returned +300% in one year can drop -80% the next. Backtested results do not predict future performance. Crypto is unregulated and carries unique risks including exchange failures and regulatory changes.

Controls how speculative Athena's coin selections are.
Crypto weekend moves can be sharp with lower liquidity.
Athena pauses during extreme market events if enabled.
Athena stops trading for the day if this threshold is hit.
Fine-tune the parameters Athena uses on crypto charts. Crypto requires different settings than stocks — faster EMAs, wider stops, and higher RSI ranges due to extreme volatility.
Defaults are calibrated for 1-hour and 4-hour crypto charts across mid-to-large cap coins.
Crypto regularly dips to RSI 20–25 before bouncing. Setting this to 25 ensures Athena only buys during genuinely extreme oversold conditions, reducing false entries.
Crypto can sustain RSI above 70 for extended bull runs. 75 gives room for momentum without exiting too early during strong uptrends.
The 12-period EMA on a 4-hour crypto chart is the industry standard short-term trend indicator. Used alongside the 26 EMA to generate MACD signals.
The 26-period EMA completes the classic MACD setup. When the 12 crosses above the 26, it confirms a bullish trend across all major crypto pairs.
Crypto is significantly more volatile than stocks — a 6% stop prevents getting shaken out by normal noise while still protecting against real reversals.
Crypto moves of 10–20% are common in trending markets. A 12% target captures most of the move without being too greedy and risking a reversal.
Holding 4 coins simultaneously diversifies risk across the crypto portfolio without spreading capital too thin for meaningful returns.
1.4x volume on crypto charts helps Athena distinguish genuine breakouts from low-liquidity noise, especially during weekend sessions.
45 minutes prevents Athena from re-entering immediately after a loss, which is important in crypto where cascading sell-offs can trigger multiple bad trades in a row.
