As Brent Penfold writes in
“Universal Tactics of Successful Trend Trading” (Wiley, 2022):

“I only have one word for a strategy with only one rule and one variable, which is 60+ years old with an out-of-sample performance like that. Extraordinary. I personally believe this strategy is possibly one of the all-time best.”

  • $1,601,223 total profit

more useful for someone who wants less noise in the process. The best use is following the broader move, then leaving the final filter manual.

If this produced around 4 percent ROI in a month with DD under 3 percent, For me that is that a good first sign, not proof of a holy grail. A smaller first run keeps the risk easier to read.
