Evidence-led crypto strategy research

Test the strategy before you trust the trade.

Coinbase Trader is a research application for comparing rule-based crypto strategies with passive holding. You can review the methods and results publicly, then create an account if you want to define a small, risk-limited test using your own Coinbase holdings.

Evidence paper vs hold
The quoted amount describes the last completed 30-day paper study—not an expected monthly return. Choose one of its three highest model-only results and a passive asset pair. The calculator finds the smallest starting amount for which the model's paper ending value finished at least $9.99 above simply buying and holding that asset over the same dates. This historical counterfactual explains the arithmetic; it does not forecast what a strategy or account will earn.

Read left to right: the gray dot is the hold endpoint; the colored dot is the paper-model endpoint. The band is the maximum ending-value gap—not a simulated account path.

Equivalent units are a valuation translation, not a holdings record. is the ending-value difference divided by the final close. The top-three rank and the selected pair are both retrospective views of the completed study.

What this evidence does—and does not—say

What is measured

A same-window ending-value gap

The calculator subtracts the selected asset's Coinbase buy-and-hold return from one top model's completed paper return. Starting amount × that return difference gives the illustrated end-value advantage.

What remains unknown

Your next 30 days

Markets change, the top-three rank is known only after the study, and a value advantage is not proof that the model accumulated the selected asset. Live trading also adds fees, spread, slippage, timing, liquidity, tax, and execution risk.
