How does this strategy behave in different market regimes?

Model results from 304 simulation runs across curated historical market phases and synthetic stress tests, aggregated by market regime.

Values are model estimates: average and range (±1 standard deviation) from Monte Carlo variations across historical market phases and synthetic stress tests. Not a prediction of future performance, not investment advice.

Stocks & indices climb over weeks or monthslike Bull Run 2017 or Tech Rally 2021.

Aggregation note: Cases can contribute to multiple regimes — a crash counts as both "Market Crash" and "High Volatility", for example. Range combines within-subtype and between-subtype spread. Total 558 case contributions across 9 failure modes.

Weakest spot · Whipsaw

Your strategy returned -3.1% on average across sideways markets with false signals. Require signal confirmation (e.g. close above the level for N bars) to filter noise.

Model-based scenario simulation. All values are produced by computational market models — curated historical market phases and synthetic stress tests with Monte Carlo variations. They describe how the strategy behaves in the modelled scenarios, not future performance in live markets.

Not investment advice, not financial analysis under § 34b WpHG (German Securities Trading Act), not a recommendation to buy or sell. Past or simulated performance is not a reliable indicator of future results.
