The question doesn't apply here. Buy-and-hold on Arbitrum (ARB) lost money across the out-of-sample window in 281 of 281 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.
