RE: Cryptocurrency Index Investing - Experiment

Trading strategy is straight indexing the top 10 coins in Coin Gecko every month. No emotion involved. I paper purchased $10,000 of the top 10 coins in Coin Gecko as of July 1, 2017. On August 1, 2017 i'll rebalance based on the top 10 coins in Coin Gecko on that day.

If a coin falls out of the top 10 it gets liquidated at the price on August 1st and the coin that enters the top 10 gets purchased.

The goal is to see if an index of these 10 coins can beat putting all your money in the "hot coin" and chasing returns.

Just as in stock investing where we see that 90% of hedge funds don't beat their index over a long period. I want to see if this same indexing strategy can beat the individual coin.
