How to read this ranking

  • Hostility = strategies sent to Hospital.
  • Survival = strategies still standing after the market.
  • Buy & Hold boss = the market itself, which strategies must beat.
  • Difficulty = hostility + survival + drawdown + fortress strength.

Why this is not a price chart

  • A market can rise and still be unconquered if Buy & Hold beats every strategy.
  • A market can return less while preserving more systems.
  • The real victory is a strategy x asset pair with positive alpha.
  • All data remains educational paper-trading, not financial advice.
