Key Findings from 20+ Crypto Research Papers
Evidence-based insights that power every SelectSignal strategy.
1. What Works in Crypto Markets
Simple rules beat complexity — RSI(14) > 50, single MA crossovers, and momentum signals outperformed multi-indicator setups.
WMA + STO = Alpha combo — Weighted Moving Average confirmed by Stochastic Oscillator showed consistent outperformance in ML tests.
Tailored by coin & timeframe — What works for BTC doesn’t work for ETH. Best setups vary by coin and whether it’s intraday or daily.
Trend-following wins — TRB, short-to-mid MA crossovers, and breakout systems beat buy-and-hold in trending markets.
Adaptivity matters — Market-regime-aware systems and ensemble strategies (multi-horizon MA blends) are more resilient long term.
2. What Doesn’t Work
RSI(30/70) & BB reversals — Countertrend indicators underperform in trending crypto markets.
MACD & multi-indicator overload — Too many indicators often conflict, lag, or overfit — especially in real-time setups.
High-frequency intraday — Without institutional-grade filtering, 1-min and 5-min systems are noisy and often unprofitable.
One-size-fits-all scripts — Universal settings fail across different coins. Indicator parameters must be customized.
3. Why SelectSignal Strategies Stand Out
Only the top 0.2% of 1,500+ backtested strategies made the cut.
Each strategy is coin-specific — tuned separately for BTC and ETH based on real market data.
Built on research — includes alpha-generating signals from legacy financial literature and cutting-edge crypto studies.
Continuously updated as market regimes evolve — nothing stale, nothing static.
