Please don't expect too much. If bitcoin price goes up from here and never comes back then you will increase the USD balance but at the same time decrease the BTC balance. You will still overall have more money than you had before but not in terms of BTC alone, and also less than if you had held 100% BTC all the time. You will see BTC denominated profits only if you stop the bot at around the same price where you started it, otherwise it mostly serves as an automated mechanism to keep your BTC exposure (and therefore your risk) at a constant level instead of letting it rise dangerously high with increasing price.

I second this. With backtesting, and in principle, the main function of the balancer is to reduce volatility at the expense of some upside. I.e. you will get less profit but smoother profit.

It does do well in mean-reverting markets though (such as in the recent crashes).
