Results by strategy

0 of 10 beat buy and hold (CAGR -0.0%, drawdown -2.9%).

Sharpe leader (same as main): ROC 모멘텀 — CAGR -0.1%, MDD -3.9%, Sharpe -0.08, 100% exposure. With at least 95% exposure, it should be treated as hold-like, not strong evidence of timing skill.

CAGR reference leader: ADX / DI 방향성 — CAGR -0.1%, MDD -0.9%, exposure 2%.

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%.

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.
