We Expanded the 'Legacy' Portfolio. Here’s Why. [Strategy Update]

Market commentary

After extensive research and market analysis, Algocrat AI has expanded the Legacy portfolio to include a second system variant optimized for low-volatility, range-bound conditions. This strategic update balances rare, high-quality trade setups with faster exits and increased focus on Ethereum, aiming to capture profits across multiple market regimes. While both variants have trade-offs, the combined approach enhances adaptability and long-term performance without requiring action from current users.

Over the past year, we've been working hard behind the scenes to improve all aspects of our cryptocurrency trading at Algocrat AI.

This includes determining optimal points of entry and exit, selecting assets and their proportions, understanding how execution varies across venues, and analyzing market changes over the last 1-3 years to identify the most likely trends and the adaptations to them.

After analyzing extensive data, we've decided to add a different version of the systems to our Legacy portfolio.

Why we decided to expand it:

This version generally performs better in low-volatility, choppy ranges, like what we've experienced in 2023 and 2025, but may underperform in more dynamic conditions, which have been typical in most other years.

Since markets are cyclical in many aspects of their behavior, and it's impossible to predict which cycle we'll see next, we decided not to replace our entire logic but to expand our portfolio to include both approaches.

This effectively doubles the number of systems in the portfolio, combining the best of both worlds.

What exactly has been changed?

First, we've significantly revised entry conditions, now focusing on rarer, higher-quality setups.

Second, a larger share of our trading activity will target Ethereum rather than Bitcoin, which makes sense given Ethereum's historically stronger performance.

Ethereum accounts for about 25% of our volume but nearly 50% of our profits.

While we already shifted our portfolio toward Ethereum earlier last year, we're now emphasizing this shift even more.

Lastly, we've started exiting the market more quickly, requiring smaller relative movements to do so.

Although we made similar changes earlier last year, after reviewing the entirety of 2025 data, we've decided to reinforce this approach.

How will this affect the 'Legacy' portfolio:

From this point forward, the Legacy portfolio will have two variations: a "true" Legacy portion that performs better outside tight ranges, and a "range-bound" portfolio that, on average, performs better during tight ranges.

Of course, this is an oversimplification, and each option has its own pros and cons.

For example, by exiting trades earlier, we reduce trade expectancy, making systems more prone to execution issues and higher expenses.

Also, with fewer independent entries, the sample size is smaller, forcing us to rely on heuristics even more than before.

However, we wouldn't be who we are now if we weren't adaptive to the markets' non-stationary nature.

These changes, while significant, make logical sense and allow us not only to follow the market's movements but also to anticipate changes in advance, based on the trends we can already observe.

We've prepared an illustration of what this looks like in practice,
