Vooum Sentinel V4
SPOT · SEALED PAPER SIGNALS Single strategy: Sentinel · smallest worst fall of the 4 products, backtested Sep 2018 to Oct 2026. One of the four published Vooums racing on real Bitcoin and Ether prices: its results over the whole history, its live paper record, what to do now and its newest sealed signals, with the same numbers as the race page on vooum.com.
- Whole history
- +663.1%since 21 Sep 2018, after fees; backtested with hindsight, hypothetical
- Worst drop
- -28.4%the deepest fall from a high; backtest, hypothetical
- Follower result
- +585.8%what a follower of the signals gets; backtest, hypothetical
- Holds now
- cash 100%out of the market: all cash
Its whole-history result includes falls along the way: a fall, live or in the backtest, is part of its record, not a broken signal. Judge it over months, not days.
Live record
Live paper signals since 13 Oct 2026: 0.00%; Bitcoin held over the same window -4.92%.

What to do now
cash 100% Out of the market: all cash
To copy it now: keep $1,000 in cash and wait for its next buy.
Then wait for its next signal. No sell price is published in advance: a sell comes later as a new sealed signal, and most checks bring no new signal.
Its latest signal: there is no live signal yet (the live record began on 13 Oct 2026).
Newest sealed live signals
No live signal since the live record began on 13 Oct 2026: it holds cash 100% and has not traded since then.
Fact sheet
Vooum Sentinel's results from its account value at every day's reading, beside the same money held in Bitcoin from the first day. Every figure below the live record is backtested with hindsight (hypothetical) on real prices, fees included: past results, not a forecast.
Live paper record
Since 13 Oct 2026, to 1 Nov 2026, 05:00 UTC: 19 days live, 0 sealed signals, 0.00% against Bitcoin held -4.92%. Shown as it is and not annualised: a record this short says little about a year. The sealed record is timestamped in Bitcoin block 973757 (OpenTimestamps). Check it yourself.
Hypothetical performance. “These results are based on simulated or hypothetical performance results that have certain inherent limitations. Unlike the results shown in an actual performance record, these results do not represent actual trading. Also, because these trades have not actually been executed, these results may have under-or over-compensated for the impact, if any, of certain market factors, such as lack of liquidity. Simulated or hypothetical trading programs in general are also subject to the fact that they are designed with the benefit of hindsight. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to these being shown.” (17 CFR 4.41(b)(1)). No real money was traded by Vooum, in the backtest or live.
Now: -13.7% below its peak of 13 Aug 2025, at the last reading (31 Oct 2026, backtest, hypothetical).

The words on vooum.com and their usual names
- Distance or result: cumulative return.
- Worst drop: maximum drawdown.
- Result per drop: the whole result over the worst drop, a Calmar-like ratio over the whole period.
- Follower result: the result after the delays and slippage a person following the signals meets.
- Bitcoin held: the benchmark, the same money in Bitcoin from the first day.
How these figures are made
- From the account value V at each day's reading: daily simple returns r = V(day) / V(day before) − 1; a year is 365 readings, because crypto trades every day.
- Annual return = (V(last) / V(first)) to the power 365 / days − 1. Volatility = the standard deviation of r times the square root of 365.
- Sharpe = mean(r) / standard deviation(r) times the square root of 365, with a risk-free rate of 0. Sortino = mean(r) / the root mean square of the returns below 0, times the square root of 365. Calmar = annual return / worst drop.
- Value at risk (95%) = the 5th percentile of r; expected shortfall = the mean of r at or below it. Beta = covariance(r, Bitcoin's r) / variance(Bitcoin's r).
- Bitcoin held is the same starting money put into Bitcoin on the first day and kept. Months and years run from the last reading of one to the last of the next; the best, worst and positive months count whole months only (not the first or the current one).
- Fees are counted at 0.15% a side. Binance's standard spot fee is 0.10%, or 0.075% paid in BNB (Binance fee schedule, read 20 Oct 2026), so the figures assume more cost than a regular account pays.
- Spot only: no leverage, no borrowing, no short selling. Two pairs, BTC/USDT and ETH/USDT, both open to market orders on Binance; the smallest order there is 5 USDT (Binance exchange information, read 20 Oct 2026).
- The follower result fills every buy and sale 5 minutes after the signal's hour, at the price then plus 0.05% slippage, as a person following the sealed signals would.
- Live signals are sealed and published a median of 0 minutes after the hour they are issued on (the slowest so far: 19 hours), over 16 sealed signals; the follower result already waits 5 minutes before filling.
- How the four were chosen: 85 strategies were backtested in the lab since 11 Oct 2026, most of them public community strategies; 5 race on vooum.com; four are published as Vooums; the rest were retired after testing. A backtest picked from many looks better than one picked blind.
Hypothetical results have limits. These results are simulated: they were made with the benefit of hindsight, no real money was traded, and they cannot account for every effect of real trading, such as keeping to a plan through losses. No account is claimed to have made, or to be likely to make, results like these. The live record is paper too: Vooum trades no real money. General information, the same for every visitor, not advice: you could lose all the money you put in. Terms and risks.

What these numbers are
- Backtested with hindsight on real prices since 21 Sep 2018: past results, not a forecast.
- Live paper signals since 13 Oct 2026: no real money; every live signal is sealed when it is issued.
- Fees 0.15% a side are counted in every result.
- Not financial advice: paper signals for information; you trade at your own risk.
