StormRider is a trend-following strategy built on the Supertrend indicator, recommended on 4h candles. It rides strong trends in both directions: when the trend changes it closes the open position and reverses into the new direction. It sits out choppy moves that run against the bigger trend, banks short profits early while longs ride the trend, and keeps a stop-loss on every position. Optional trailing and entry filters are off by default.
Each bot's return on this version since it became stable (at most the last 30 days), averaged over bots with 5+ trades on it; drawdown marks open positions to their last stored price. Live bots only, else paper bots.

10 coins never used to design StormRider (DOT, ATOM, NEAR, AAVE, UNI, BCH, ETC, FIL, OP, INJ), Bybit USDT perpetuals on 4-hour candles, each coin from 2021 (UNI, OP and INJ from their first year of trading) to October 2026. Every trade used 20% of the balance (10x leverage, $10,000 per coin, fees and slippage included). The pass/fail rules were written down before this test was run. New-bot figures: a bot started every 14 days from November 2024 to July 2026 on each coin, 90 days each (450 bots). Tested in Oct 2026 with version 1.04. Includes coins that were never used to design the strategy. Past results don't guarantee future ones.
Real historical candles, the same engine the bots use. Equity curve against buy-and-hold, win rate, drawdown. The strategy code stays server-side.
One row per exchange with a recorded backtest: the best public run on that exchange, on the pair and timeframe it was run against. These are backtests, not bot records — the 30-day bot record above covers every exchange. 0 of 15 compatible exchanges have one; the other 15 are listed below without numbers.
Strategy Lab uses AI to mutate and backtest strategies like this one, keeping only the changes that beat the numbers above — validated on data it never trained on.
