perhaps i’m missing something obvious, but the market is generally still up from the reference point of 3 years 9 months, so most things will be good bets. this seems like it does a somewhat arbitrary metric and says “see it’s up, so the metric is good!” it should compare to other things in the same metric category to show it’s a (more likely) causation instead of semi-arbitrary correlation paired with a huge bear market.

i.e. github commits on crypto coin repos. most coins are probably up over the default time period, but are the ones with the most commits the most up, or are they just also up since everything is up?

You can reverse the strategy to see if there is any difference in profits. You can also create a strategy where you can just buy a stock every month and compare all three.

I am in the process of adding a benchmark to every result, to make it easier.

I should have made it more obvious in the UI. Thank you for your feedback.
