CCI Reversion (20, ±100)
Positive risk-adjusted return in 10 of 18 cells — strongest on GOLD · 4H (Sharpe 0.75); 8 cells lose after the 0.05% per-side fee. Trails buy-and-hold by 489.8pp on average.
§ Verdict rationale
Composite Sharpe 0.1 across 18 cells — expectancy does not survive the 0.05% per-side fee. Best cell: GOLD 4H (Sharpe 0.75). The account is wiped out entirely in 2 of 18 cells — the fee drag alone, before any question of signal quality.
§ Alpha score breakdown
alpha = edge (0-40: clamp(compositeSharpe/2,0,1)*40) + stability (0-25: positiveCells/18*25) + flaw penalty (0 to -25: static findings, 0 across v1 catalog) + reproduction (0-10: engine oracle parity vs pine2py, 251/257 scripts = 9)

§ Flaw checklist
Verdict rules: pass: composite Sharpe >= 0.9 and >= 12/18 cells positive · cond: composite Sharpe > 0 and best cell Sharpe >= 0.9 · fail: otherwise · rep: static repaint/look-ahead finding (none in the authored v1 catalog: confirmed-bar signals, next-bar-open fills)
§ What the numbers mean
- Sharpe ratio
- Risk-adjusted return: mean daily return divided by its standard deviation, annualized ×√252. The composite figure is the mean of the 18 cell Sharpes — one bad market drags it honestly.
- Max drawdown
- The worst peak-to-trough equity loss over the window, measured on the fee-adjusted curve. What you would have sat through, not what you would have ended with.
- Profit factor (PF)
- Gross profit divided by gross loss, with fees charged to the loss side. Above 1.0 means gross gains exceeded gross losses; 1.0–1.2 is usually noise.
- Win rate
- Share of closed trades that closed profitable. A high win rate with a profit factor near 1 means many small wins and a few large losses — common in mean-reversion.
- vs buy-and-hold
- Strategy total return minus the return of simply holding the asset over the same window — the benchmark any active strategy must beat to justify existing.
- Alpha score
- The desk’s 0–100 composite: out-of-sample edge (0–40), regime stability across cells (0–25), flaw penalty (0 to −25), reproduction accuracy (0–10). The exact formula ships with the data.
