Yes, 323% was the best but that was on a single coin for single strategy in single timeline. If you take average from all coins, result is worse (like <100%). And since past performance is not indicator of future results, it most probably would have been even worse if you tried this now.

Thanks, I describe Turtle and Bestone in Part2, I suggest checking that and especially source code. Keep in mind you need to heavily backtest this yourself before thinking about going LIVE, don't take my results for granted!

I feel you're suspicios and that's good - you should always be very very skeptical when reading articles about trading. I'm NOT saying "Follow strategy X and get +300%", that's not how it works. Past results don't guarantee anything in the future, but at least they serve as a bit of reality check. Because if you get negative 80% in backtest, you can be pretty sure that this is not working.
As for strategies, they are not mine, they are open source, I've collected them from Github, forums and Discord channels. And I'm not recommending them. Also I'm not saying they are bad. This is just an experiment to show you a bit more realistic results.
As for importance of backtesting - every serious algo trader backtests the hell out of strategies. How can you not? Imagine manufacturing a car and not testing it, just putting pieces together and hoping it sticks. Bad plan.
