Backtested and hypothetical, not achieved with real capital. Past results do not promise future ones.
Each row is one market cycle: the asset's low and the average price paid. The closer the two are, the better. There is no win rate here because positions are not closed trade by trade.
When it does well and badly
Good fit
- Long horizons and patience through bear markets
- Assets you want to own anyway
Poor fit
- Quick results
- Assets that never recover
