Deadlist: The Backtest That Includes the Dead
Deadlist audits crypto trading strategies against every Binance perpetual contract it lists, including contracts that were later delisted.
Field notes
The project separates a historical universe from the survivor-only samples common in trading research. Its stated dataset covers 741 Binance perpetuals, including 102 contracts that were delisted, while the flagship comparison uses 11 walk-forward windows. The page also describes dry-run dashboards across 26 instances and a verdict grid ranking 23 instances. Deeper access appears to be offered through an early-access waitlist, with users invited either to download the dataset or submit a trade log for review.
