Ethereum Classic (ETC) is the continuation of the original Ethereum blockchain after the 2016 DAO-fork. Proof-of-work, fixed monetary policy and a strong "code is law" community. Long history (since 2017) provides ample training data; tends to track BTC closely with periodic divergent moves around mining narratives.

Performance Overview

Key risk-adjusted metrics from the walk-forward backtest. Sharpe above 3.0 is excellent; win rate above 75% demonstrates consistent signal quality.
