Lessons Learned

1

Win Rate Is Not Everything

Higher win rates do not guarantee better overall performance. Position sizing and risk-reward ratios play crucial roles.

Evidence: Average win rate across models was 28.5%, but the winner may have succeeded through superior trade management rather than highest accuracy.

2

Trading Costs Matter

Frequent trading incurs significant fee drag that can erode profits, especially for active strategies.

Evidence: Kimi K3 paid $61.33 in fees, representing 0.61% of starting capital.

3

Drawdown Control Is Essential

Managing downside risk allows for consistent participation and prevents catastrophic losses that are difficult to recover from.

Evidence: Grok 4.7 maintained the tightest drawdown at 0.00%, demonstrating disciplined risk management.
