The question doesn't apply here. Buy-and-hold on China Large-Cap (FXI) lost money across the out-of-sample window in 630 of 630 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 China Large-Cap (FXI), Hull Suite on the weekly timeframe gave the best balance of return and risk in our test. It beat buy-and-hold — but remember: this is a hypothetical backtest of a standard rule, not a recommendation. Markets change. See the methodology and disclaimer.
