How to read a case study
Every study uses the same starting point and the same terms, so one ticker can be read against another.
The starting point
$100,000
Every run starts from the same hypothetical $100,000 in cash and zero shares.
Strategy return
What the algorithm's account returned over the window.
Buy and hold
Buying on day one and holding to the end.
DCA
Dollar-cost averaging: buying the same dollar amount on a fixed schedule.
Outperformance
The strategy's return minus the benchmark's, in percentage points.
Realized profit
Gains the algorithm actually sold and banked as cash.
Window
The start and end dates of one run. Each study tests three.
Reading a gap
In the MSFT study the strategy returned +111.5% and buy and hold returned +49.7% over the same window. That is an outperformance of 61.8 percentage points, not a return of 61.8%.
