TIYlab BTC Trading System
Macro Regime · DCA · Market-Neutral | Sharing Progress
ABOUT
TIYlab is based in France and run by a team with experience in software engineering and quantitative analysis. We’ve spent over a year developing and testing this system, which includes backtesting across various market conditions, solid infrastructure, and a small live rollout prior to going public.
This is more of a side project focused on discipline. We’re all about transparency here: we share every outcome, even the not-so-great months. Especially the not-so-great months.
WHAT IS TIYLAB?
TIYlab is an automated BTC trading platform that merges three different strategies into one cohesive system. The main idea is to first figure out the macro regime and then trade based on that.
We’re not about predicting prices. We identify if the market is in a BULL, BEAR, or TRANSITION phase, and adjust our exposure automatically.
THE 3 STRATEGIES
1. Macro Bot (60% allocation)
This bot spots shifts in the macro regime using a combination of SMA200 and a 3-day confirmation. In a BULL market: it goes long on BTC with a trailing stop and some de-risking layers. In BEAR or TRANSITION phases: it holds cash. This bot has executed 43 trades over 8 years of backtesting; it’s not a scalper, but follows the market regime.
2. DCA Bot (10% allocation)
This is a regime-aware dollar-cost averaging bot. It buys more during market pullbacks and holds back when the market is near its all-time highs. It has a crash-recovery state machine that handles runtime restarts well.
3. Funding Bot (30% allocation)
This one uses a delta-neutral carry strategy focused on the BTC perpetual funding rate. It goes long on spot BTC and short on futures (with 5x leverage) with equal notional amounts. The returns are not tied to Bitcoin’s price direction. The Sharpe ratio is 9.16 based on a 6-year backtest after recent adjustments.
