XRP- Caught The Move. Then Got Chopped. How Backtesting Fixed It

XRP printed a strong trend — and the strategy caught it early. But partway through the move, price stalled in a tight range and the position was exited early.
That’s where backtesting and tuning come in.

In the first test, the strategy used default settings with Signal MA = 220. It entered cleanly, but exited mid-chop.
After adjusting the Signal MA to over 800, the strategy started holding through the noise and stayed in the move — with higher PNL and a slightly increased drawdown. Ended on 900.

This is the power of understanding how your system behaves in different conditions.
By adjusting signal sensitivity, you can reduce premature exits without chasing every move. The goal isn’t perfection — it’s better retention of valid trends without overfitting.

This example shows how simple tweaks, backed by clear test results, can make a measurable difference.
