How to Backtest Your Portfolio with Shrimpy and Build Successful Trading Strategies

Lulian Lesanu • February 18, 2022

Shrimpy is one of the most efficient tools in automated portfolio management. All traders, regardless of experience, can use it to get the best out of their trading strategy. And with the backtest option, you can estimate how your portfolio would perform in different circumstances.

Backtesting enables customers to determine how a strategy would have performed over time. This way, they can anticipate how a specific approach would pan out. Shrimpy offers easy and effective backtesting with real-time results for you to tweak your portfolio automations for the best results.

Here are some of the Shrimpy options available with the Backtest tab!

Asset Selection

This feature lets you pick which assets you wish to include in the backtesting strategy. Remember that the assets you select must occupy more than 0% allocation. The sum of the assets' allocations has to reach exactly 100% for the backtest to run.

Backtest Configuration

From the “Backtest Settings” tab, you can configure your rebalance strategy and trading fee. Remember that you can only evaluate one rebalancing strategy at a time.

Trading Fee

This setting enables you to calculate the amount of fees you would pay for each executed trade during the backtest.

Rebalance Period

You can use this feature to indicate how frequently rebalance execution should re-align your portfolio to target allocations. Notice that this frequency can range from 1 hour to a year or more.

Rebalance Threshold

Additionally, you can choose the rebalance threshold specifying when the portfolio rebalances must occur to re-align itself to target allocations. This threshold depends on the deviation each asset has from its target allocation.

Fee Optimization

One of the best parts about using Shrimpy is that you can simulate how the tool would work beforehand. For instance, this feature allows you to see how your strategy would work whether you enable “Fee Optimization” or not. You may be familiar with this option if you already know how to automate your portfolio with Shrimpy.

Backtest Results

Shrimpy allows you to see the backtest's results when selecting "Run." This way, you can detect important details about your strategy from the start. This information includes the population of the main graph along with other statistics. Together they can indicate how well rebalancing performed compared to holding the same assets.

Shrimpy Final

This feature shows you the funds you would have had after backtesting if you rebalanced using the portfolio allocations. Also, the results depend on the rebalancing settings you defined in the backtest.

Holding Final

This sum represents the funds you would have had after backtesting if you didn’t execute any rebalances during the period. Also, it shows what would have happened if you had held the same assets in a portfolio that didn’t rebalance.

Difference

This figure represents the amount that Shrimpy Final performed compared to Holding Final. This sum can be worse or better than the Holding Final.

Copy Portfolio

You can add the portfolio you have backtested into your “Automation” tab by selecting “Copy Portfolio.”

There you have it! Now you can quickly backtest your portfolio while altering the options above according to your strategy. When you find a potentially winning one, you can add it to your automations.

Many social leaders on Shrimpy help investors maximize profits from crypto trading. Use this feature to better understand how your assets would perform in various circumstances. Lastly, always do your due diligence before repurposing your portfolio.

ANOME Completes BNB Chain Integration, Ready to Activate “Meme Realms”

By Press Release • October 10, 2025

Web3 entertainment protocol ANOME has completed technical adaptation for BNB Chain and passed its first integration test, paving the way for ‘Meme Realms’ — a new feature that lets any BNB ecosystem meme coin launch its own stand-alone gaming universe in just one day. The milestone confirms full readiness for activation and marks a new phase in ANOME’s expansion and positions ANOME to expand into the BNB Chain GameFi and NFTFi ecosystem. Meme Realms Ready for Launch Meme Realms will be a modular system letting any BNB-ecosystem meme coin become its own on-chain game world within one day. Each Realm functions as an independent economy, where players mint, trade, and battle using that realm’s meme coin. Realms include NFT card assets, leaderboards, seasonal quests, and liquidity pools, all native to BNB Chain. “We’ve completed technical adaptation to the BNB Chain,” said an ANOME Product Lead. “Integrating a meme takes just one day — ready to activate anytime for rapid expansion.” Turning Meme Culture Into On-Chain Impact Every action inside a Realm (minting, selling, battling, and claiming rewards) occurs directly on the BNB Chain. Each meme coin Realm adds measurable transactions, liquidity, and user activity to the network. The design ensures economic isolation between Realms while maintaining full on-chain transparency. “Meme is culture,” an ANOME spokesperson said. “We convert that cultural energy into verifiable BNB Chain momentum - more users, more TVL, more real data.” The project’s key highlights include the following points: One-Day Onboarding : Any BNB meme coin can become an active Realm within 24 hours. Native Settlement : Players mint and trade directly in the meme coin of that Realm. BNB Impact Reports : ANOME will regularly publish metrics (every 30, 60, and 90 days) on its community. The reports will include active wallets, liquidity, and interactions, all on-chain. 3×3 PvP Battles : The project will let players compete using five NFT cards per match. The main thing to know here is that any defeated cards will be burned to sustain all the reward pools. Loss-Mining Rewards : Losing is not a “real loss” in this ecosystem. In fact, players will still earn time-released compensation tokens. ANOME’s integration expands the entertainment layer of BNB Chain. Each Realm generates verifiable usage, isolated liquidity, and transparent capital flows. The system channels meme-driven attention into measurable blockchain activity and strengthens BNB Chain’s GameFi and NFTFi sectors. About ANOME ANOME is a Web3 entertainment protocol bridging gaming, culture, and decentralized finance. Its core module combines NFT minting, 3×3 PvP card battles, and the Loss-Mining reward system. With full BNB Chain readiness, ANOME introduces Meme Realms. The initiative represents a fast, modular framework where meme communities evolve into complete, on-chain universes. Anyone curious to learn more about ANOME and its next advancement plans can refer to the project’s website . Also, the social media below are the best way to keep in touch with this team.
