Why most strategies fail.
A pattern I keep seeing when reviewing crypto strategies:
They don’t slowly decay.
They **snap**.
What usually breaks them isn’t bad logic, but a **regime shift**:
* Low → high volatility
* Trending → choppy
* Risk-on → risk-off
A strategy that looks “rock solid” for months can give back most of its edge in a handful of trades when the regime flips.
A few things that helped me spot this earlier:
* Separating performance by volatility buckets
* Looking at *where* drawdowns cluster, not just how big they are
* Stress-testing assumptions instead of optimizing parameters
Biggest takeaway for me:
If a strategy only works in *one* market environment, it’s not robust -- it’s conditional.
Curious how others here deal with this:
Do you adapt strategies to regimes, rotate them, or just accept drawdowns as the cost of edge?
