Results by strategy

1 of 10 beat buy and hold (CAGR 8.2%, drawdown -61.5%).

Sharpe leader (same as main): ROC 모멘텀 — CAGR 5.3%, MDD -68.1%, Sharpe 0.54, 98% exposure. With at least 95% exposure, it should be treated as hold-like, not strong evidence of timing skill.

CAGR reference leader: SMA 크로스오버 — CAGR 8.5%, MDD -55.0%, exposure 60%.

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

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.
