Today's daily-bar indicator readings for crypto coins, computed by a real backtesting engine from Binance closes: price, RSI-14, MACD state, SMA 50/200 posture, SuperTrend, Bollinger position, ATR volatility, 52-week range. Pass a coin ticker (e.g. 'btc') for one coin, or omit for the whole 50-coin board.

Head-to-head comparison of two strategy templates from real monthly engine runs across ~50 coins: per-coin win count, median out-of-sample Sharpe, survival counts, median return and drawdown. Use strategy names from list_strategies (e.g. 'super_trend', 'ema_crossover').

Dollar-cost-averaging outcome for a coin: what buying a fixed dollar amount on a schedule (weekly or monthly) since a start date would be worth today — total invested, units, average cost, current value and ROI — plus the lump-sum comparison and the worst drawdown endured.

Compute the Deflated Sharpe Ratio (Bailey & Lopez de Prado 2014) for YOUR OWN backtest: given its annualised Sharpe, length, and how many strategy variants you tried before selecting it, returns the probability the result is real skill rather than selection luck, the luck bar it must clear, and a plain verdict. Works on any backtest, not just ours.
