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).
- The results count 0.10% a side on contract legs and 0.15% on spot legs; the exchange itself charges about 0.05% a side (taker).
- Two pairs, BTC/USDT and ETH/USDT: the USDT perpetual, long or short, and spot for a spot leg, a plain buy. Every perpetual position is isolated margin at the leverage its signal states, with its liquidation price at entry: if the mark price reaches it, the exchange closes the position and that margin is lost.
- A closed position’s result is in % of its margin (of its value for a spot leg), after fees and funding. An open position’s result so far is the price move from its entry times its leverage, before fees and funding.
- The follower result fills every leg 5 minutes after its 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: 0 minutes), over 16 sealed signals.
- All seven futures racers are published, each with its own page, and side by side on the comparison page; a backtest picked from many still 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 1 Aug 2020: past results, not a forecast.
- Live paper signals since 28 Oct 2026, 12:00 UTC: no real money; every live signal is sealed when it is issued.
- The results count 0.10% a side on contract legs and 0.15% on spot legs; the exchange itself charges about 0.05% a side (taker). A closed position’s live result counts its funding too.
- Futures are restricted in some countries: check that they are allowed where you live.
- Paper signals from the author's own analysis and tests; not financial advice. Futures can lose everything behind a position in one move, and the exchange itself is a risk. The author takes no responsibility for losses and never asks for a share of profits: you trade at your own risk. The futures risks.
