I built an open-source crypto trading bot with 67.9% win rate — here's what I learned

Hey IH! I'm a solo founder building TrendRider — an algorithmic crypto trading signal service. After getting burned by signal groups that only show wins and hide losses, I decided to build my own system with full transparency. The stack: Freqtrade (open-source Python bot) running on Bybit, with a MACD + ADX strategy on 4h candles. Every trade is backtested and results are published openly. Current stats: 67.9% win rate, 2.12x profit factor, 1.42% max drawdown. The hardest part wasn't the algo — it was getting the risk management right. A 6% stop-loss with trailing stops turned out to be the key to surviving drawdowns. Check it out at trendrider.net — free tier available. Happy to answer any questions about building algo trading products or Freqtrade in general!
