Accuracy of tulip indicators? - tommiehansen - 02-11-2018
I know the accuracy of the indicators (all indicators) has come into question before, but when i ran a really long backtest now it just seems the return performance is too good?
Dataset
Pair: USDT-ETH
Exchange: poloniex
From: 2015-08-08 06:15
To: 2017-11-07 14:37
Duration: 2 years, 3 months, 12 hours, 52 minutes
Params
Candle Size: 15 minutes
Warmup period: 10
Paper trader
All on default
Strategy params
None, since they are defined within the js (see source @ tinit())
Strategy
RSI_BULL_BEAR_ADX
Results (screen)

Over 4.4 million percent (!) vs market @ 17 950%
Note: Output chart is cut since i resized the window after completion (it doesn't auto-resize)
Results 2 (screen); 5 minute candles instead of 15
+83 573 824% (yes, over 83 million percent return) which seems implausible

/*
RSI Bull and Bear + ADX modifier
