For me there are two factors that a strategy must achieve:

  • Make more money than buy and hold.
  • Have less drawdown than buy and hold.

 

I don’t mind if it only does one of these and not both of them as they are a balance of risk and reward. To beat the market I think more risk is necessary which leads to more draw down which is fine if you can afford it. Making less money than buy and hold is fine too as long as the drawdown is minimal and so the risk of going bust minimal.

That 200k equity curve fails to hit the mark on either point for me.
