Results by strategy

3 of 10 beat buy and hold (CAGR -8.3%, drawdown -86.3%).

Sharpe leader (same as main): Donchian 채널 돌파 — CAGR -9.6%, MDD -87.4%, Sharpe 0.45, 96% exposure. With at least 95% exposure, it should be treated as hold-like, not strong evidence of timing skill.

CAGR reference leader: ROC 모멘텀 — CAGR 2.5%, MDD -86.6%, exposure 95%. It is hold-like at 95%+ exposure and is not used as the featured strategy.

No strategy retained at least 75% of buy-and-hold CAGR while reducing drawdown by both 20% relatively and 5 percentage points absolutely.

The alternative must retain 75% of buy-and-hold CAGR, improve drawdown by at least 20% and 5 percentage points, and stay below 95% exposure; the ranking weights return retention 60% and drawdown improvement 40%.

Rules of the top strategy

A new high means a trend starting; a new low means it’s over (turtle-trading style).

Method and caveats

Past performance does not guarantee future returns. Parameters were selected on the same full-history sample using sharpe over 40 trials per strategy, so results contain in-sample bias. 0.5% trading costs are included; taxes, slippage and rejected orders are not.
