Results by strategy

1 of 10 beat buy and hold (CAGR 9.3%, drawdown -62.0%).

Sharpe leader (same as main): EMA 크로스오버 — CAGR 2.8%, MDD -46.7%, Sharpe 0.26, 41% exposure.

CAGR reference leader: ROC 모멘텀 — CAGR 9.4%, MDD -62.0%, exposure 100%. It is hold-like at 95%+ exposure and is not used as the featured strategy.

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%.
