State of cryptocurrencies

You are now able to filter screener by non-numeric fields, such as when the crypto-currency started from, or if it is still active.

Filtering by since date helps compare cryptocurrencies with similar historical timeframes, hence eliminating ones with much shorter history as an example, ensuring they've experienced the same market cycles for more relevant metric comparisons.

The recording shows how I filtered down to active crypto-currencies only.

I then filtered for cryptocurrencies with a market cap of at least $10 billion, representing approximately the top 10 coins. These were sorted by current drawdown - the percentage decline from their all-time high values.

We can see that bitcoin is currently among the crypto-currencies that is holding its value the best, being in a drawdown of around 20%.

Our database maintains minute-by-minute cryptocurrency data since 2018, enabling precise backtesting of trading strategies at high temporal resolution. In upcoming posts, I'll walk you through creating backtests and transitioning them to live trading strategies.
