What leverage would it take to beat buy & hold?

The question doesn't apply here. Buy-and-hold on Trade Desk (The) (TTD) lost money across the out-of-sample window in 416 of 416 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
