Differences from the video
Shown on every result
The Turtles traded futures both ways; a short breakout cannot be executed on Spot, so only the long side is tested.
The published system adds up to 4 units at 1/2 N intervals and reduces size in correlated markets; this test trades a single unit, so returns are smaller and smoother than the original.
Turtles risked 1% of equity per N of volatility; this test uses the app's fixed 1% risk-per-trade sizing, which is the same idea expressed through the stop distance.
The original System 1 skips a breakout when the previous breakout would have been a winner; that filter needs trade history at signal time and is NOT applied.
They traded liquid futures (bonds, metals, currencies); this test runs on the crypto pair you named.
