What this test cannot reproduce

Long side only: the mirror short rules cannot be executed on Spot.

No stop loss is published, so R-based statistics are undefined and sizing is a fixed notional.

Published for ETFs; this test runs on the crypto pair you named.

Portfolio — every backtest of this strategy

Each row prints the exact window it was measured on. Rows with different windows measure different market periods, so their numbers differ without contradicting each other.
