Results by strategy

0 of 10 beat buy and hold (CAGR 0.2%, drawdown -13.4%).

Sharpe leader (same as main): ROC 모멘텀 — CAGR 0.0%, MDD -14.8%, Sharpe 0.03, 97% exposure. With at least 95% exposure, it should be treated as hold-like, not strong evidence of timing skill.

Rules of the top strategy

Rides the trend when recent return (momentum) over a window is above a threshold.

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.
