We gave a bot $10,000 and one rule. Here’s what happened.

The rule: Parabolic SAR (0.02 start, 0.02 step, 0.2 max) on 4-hour candles. The dots chase the price and speed up as the trend runs. When price touches them, the bot flips: dots under the price means long, dots over it means short. Always in the market, 18 coins, equal weight.

Backtest, fees and funding included (0.04% per side; funding data starts Apr 2025, so earlier months carry fees only). $10,000 became $20,515 (+105%). Holding Bitcoin over the same period turned $10,000 into $7,731 (-22.7%), so the bot ended $12,800 ahead. Biggest drop: -32%. The last 7 months were +8%. 9 of the 18 coins made money; two (ENA, WLD) did most of the work.
6,084 trades paid about $3,843 in trading fees on the $10,000 path. With ReturnFee, up to $2,300 of that comes back (at OKX’s public rate of up to 60% of fees; other exchanges pay back less). Link in bio: returnfee.com
