## Definition

BTC backtesting tests Bitcoin strategies such as MA Cross, Pullback, Breakout, RSI, MACD, Bollinger, and price-action rules on historical BTC candles.

## Example Setup

One baseline setup is BTC/USDT, 1H candles, 6 months, MA Cross, long-only direction, $10,000 starting capital, 2% position size, 0.10% commission, 5 bps slippage, 2% stop loss, and 4% take profit.

## What To Inspect

Check whether winners are larger than losers, whether exits are caused by stop loss, take profit, or signal exits, and whether the strategy relies on only a few lucky trades.

## Risk Note

BTC backtesting is hypothetical. It does not predict future Bitcoin price action and does not execute real trades.
