Methodology Notes
1 V1 Sharpe — 36-day out-of-sample test set only. Daily P&L Sharpe (mean/std of daily $PnL). TRAIL_15_8 exit strategy (lock +8% floor at +15% return).
2 V2 Sharpe — Full 235-day backtest. Daily P&L Sharpe with compounding equity sim. MomTrail exit (velocity-aware trailing stop, no profit cap).
3 V1 PnL ($65,276) — 235 days, includes in-sample data (directionally useful, not pure OOS). Flat 1 contract per trade, $1.30 RT commission. Combined hit_20_5 + hit_30_5, $1.00-$4.99 price range, D05 conviction. Dollar sum, no compounding.
4 V2 PnL (%) — 235 days, full backtest. $15K starting capital, 10% of $5K risk capital per trade (dynamic contract sizing), $1.30 RT commission. Compounding equity — account grows/shrinks with each trade. % return = (final equity − $15K) / $15K.
V1 and V2 PnL numbers are not directly comparable due to different sizing, compounding, and exit methodologies.
