Walk-Forward Years
year-by-year stability matters more than any single year
| Year | CAGR | Sharpe | Max DD | Trades |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2016 | -1.5% | -0.09 | -11.5% | 3 |
| 2017 | 13.8% | 0.71 | -17.9% | 11 |

| 2021 | 25.9% | 0.91 | -18.2% | 8 |
| 2022 | -6.9% | -0.30 | -17.6% | 3 |
A robust strategy performs acceptably in most years rather than spectacularly in one — look for consistency across regimes, not a single outlier year.
