Thank you, great post and impressive work.
And yes, I agree, I would do different backtests for bear, bull and sideways time frames and compare shorter periods with longer ones. I would love to pitch in, but I'm currently too busy with work and kids to really spend a lot of time on backtesting Gekko strats. But I really appreciate you sharing your results.
Problem with backtesting is, it's only technical analysis, while there's no way to really backtest fundamental analysis. There is a tool that shows the correlation between google searches and BTC price movements, very interesting: https://www.a4dbull.com/p/blog-page.html
So as good as any TA can be, there will always be the next FUD, FOMO etc. triggered by some news, fake or real. We need to remember that the crypto market really is still in its infancy, we still need a lot more institutional money in the game to stabilize volatility in the long term.
