The question doesn't apply here. Buy-and-hold on Aptiv (APTV) lost money across the out-of-sample window in 539 of 539 tests, so there is no positive benchmark to lever toward — clearing a negative bar is a much weaker claim than beating a real one, and we keep the two apart rather than counting it as a win. How we compute that
For Aptiv (APTV), Schaff Trend Cycle on the weekly timeframe gave the best balance of return and risk in our test. It still trailed buy-and-hold on raw return — but remember: this is a hypothetical backtest of a standard rule, not a recommendation. Markets change. See the methodology and disclaimer.
