It’s been a while since my last Gekko strategy comparison, so I thought it’s time for an update. We’ve experienced a very interesting 6+ months, where most of the coins surged really well until the end of June. I hope you’ve been cashing in on this opportunity.

Another reason this has been an interesting period of time is that we’ve seen some unexpected things or things we’ve not seen before:

BTC dominance going up even more, while most altcoins not following.

XRP living its own life, showing little to no action at all.

EOS, while starting strong as always, started collapsing way before other coins and ended up falling heavily through the ranks, currently sitting at No8 by Market Cap, despite being comfortably at No5 spot for a long long time.

Some unexpected underdogs climbing the ranks, like LTC and BCH.

Raw CSV Results and Configs

For the first time, I’ll be sharing raw results in .csv format and also all strategy configs that I used. They can be found in my Github.

Testing format

It’s been almost a year since I gathered my test coin list, so it was time to freshen it up with more recent top coins. I tried to collect top coins from https://coinmarketcap.com based on Market Cap. Most coins were available, but some were added only recently, so I could not import enough history. I ended up with these 30 coins:

BTC | ETH | XRP | LTC | BCH | BNB | EOS | BSV | XLM | ADA TRX | XMR | DASH | XTZ | NEO | LINK | IOT | ETC | MKR | ONT ZEC | BTG | QTUM | OMG | ZRX | ICX | REP | XVG | GNO | QSH

Market Overview

To get a reference point for results, let’s take a look at how TOP 30 coin prices have changed from Jan 1st to Jul 1st. For better visibility, I have split results into 3 parts — 10 coins each.
