Results by strategy

2 of 10 beat buy and hold (CAGR 8.5%, drawdown -69.0%).

Sharpe leader (same as main): ROC 모멘텀 — CAGR 16.8%, MDD -62.6%, Sharpe 0.60, 99% exposure. With at least 95% exposure, it should be treated as hold-like, not strong evidence of timing skill.

Return/drawdown alternative: Supertrend — CAGR is 8.3%p higher than buy and hold, while drawdown improves by 6.4%p (CAGR 6.7%, MDD -38.9%, exposure 59%).

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%.
