What is mltipl.AI?
It's both a database of Telegram trading signal channels, and a backtesting system all in one. We not only keep a database of performance backtests for each month of each channel, dating back to Feb 2023, but we give you a tool to backtest any channel you'd like.
How many tests do you have in the database?
As of this writing, there are over 400 tests with more being added each week.
Are there any profitable channels you've found?
Yes! About 30% of the channels we test show long term (over 12 months) profitability. Some show as much as 200% gain, while others are lower, around 8-10%. The average gain for a winning channel is somewhere around 60%.
So far, we find the average losing channel carries a loss of 10% or more, and about 30% of the channels offer inconsistent returns that hover between 10% gain and 10% loss.
How far back does the database go?
Currently it has 19 months' worth of tests. Not all channels we've tested have 19 or more months worth of data, but most do.
How do you arrange the tests?
They are grouped by month and year.
What is your test methodology?
We test on a $10,000 USD test account, using 0.1 sized lots. We don't use any trailing drawdowns and we don't allow signal edits. We want to see the channel's performance exactly as the signals come. Results are shown as a % of the account size.
How are the results displayed?
There are two columns, one for monthly results, and one for lifetime results.
Do you link to the channels you test?
In most cases yes, although some channels are VIP with no 'free' channel that we can locate. Each test we perform is available for download, so you can see the results, including historical drawdown, win/loss rates, statistical scatterplots, average holding time, and trades for the month.
What if I'm looking for a channel you don't have yet?
We have a backtesting application in our system. All members can access it.
How do you perform the tests?
We have our own software that we've developed. It extracts the historical signals from Telegram, and converts the signals into orders that can be backtested.
What symbols are available to test?
These are the symbols we currently have in our database:
AUDJPY AUDUSD BTCUSD CADJPY CHFJPY ETHUSD EURAUD EURCAD EURCHF EURGBP EURJPY EURNZD EURUSD GBPAUD GBPCAD GBPCHF GBPJPY GBPNZD GBPUSD NZDJPY NZDUSD USDCAD USDCHF USDJPY XAGUSD XAUUSD
Are the channels in your database friendly to Telegram copiers?
For the most part, yes. Most have usable signals, although a few have signal formats that are constantly changing, which makes it challenging for a user. The biggest headache usually isn't the signals, it's the replies with unpredictable updates.
