6-Month Rolling Sharpe Ratio
Sharpe ratio measures risk-adjusted returns. Values above 1.0 are good, above 2.0 are excellent. This rolling calculation shows consistency over time—not just cherry-picked periods.
Equity Curve with Risk Bands
The blue line shows portfolio value growth. The orange/red bands show VaR (Value at Risk)—statistical estimates of potential losses. Understanding risk is as important as understanding returns.
Waterfall Chart: Wins vs Losses
This breaks down total performance into components: gross wins, gross losses, and net result. A healthy strategy has larger average wins than average losses.
Understanding Sharpe Ratio
The Sharpe Ratio is one of the most important metrics in trading, yet most traders don't understand what it actually tells you.
What It Measures
The Sharpe Ratio measures risk-adjusted returns. Anyone can make money in a bull market. The real question is: how much risk did you take to earn that return?
The Formula
In plain English: How much extra return did you earn per unit of risk?
What the Numbers Mean
- < 0.5:Poor risk-adjusted performance
- 0.5 - 1.0:Acceptable, but room for improvement
- 1.0 - 2.0:Good risk-adjusted returns
- >2.0:Excellent—institutional quality
Why This Matters for Gold Trading
Gold is volatile. A system that makes 50% in a year with wild swings (low Sharpe) is less valuable than a system that makes 30% smoothly (high Sharpe). The LFT system prioritizes consistency over excitement.
