Results by strategy

1 of 10 beat buy and hold (CAGR 5.4%, drawdown -34.0%).

Sharpe leader (same as main): ADX / DI 방향성 — CAGR 1.4%, MDD -4.8%, Sharpe 0.53, 7% exposure.

CAGR reference leader: ROC 모멘텀 — CAGR 5.6%, MDD -31.5%, exposure 100%. It is hold-like at 95%+ exposure and is not used as the featured strategy.

Rules of the top strategy

Looks at both the direction and the strength of the trend; holds only in a strong uptrend.

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.
