Walk-Forward Years
year-by-year stability matters more than any single year
| Year | CAGR | Sharpe | Max DD | Trades |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2016 | 14.4% | 1.01 | -12.6% | 1 |
| 2017 | 0.0% | 0.00 | 0.0% | 0 |
| 2018 | -19.3% | -1.10 | -21.8% | 2 |
| 2019 | 27.4% | 1.74 | -8.5% | 0 |
| 2020 | 322.7% | 2.41 | -33.7% | 3 |
| 2021 | 23.5% | 0.89 | -17.6% | 2 |
| 2022 | -15.3% | -0.60 | -27.2% | 2 |
A robust strategy performs acceptably in most years rather than spectacularly in one — look for consistency across regimes, not a single outlier year.
