ALL DONE

EOM-reversal discrimination test (complementary half)

  • Months after negative-EOM months: SPY SR 1.52 (n=1030, OOS) � this is what C4 trades.
  • Months after positive-EOM months: SPY SR 0.56 � the 50% of months C4 sits out.
  • Discrimination is real (1.52 vs 0.56), but as a sleeve C4 nets OOS SR 0.88 vs SPY B&H 0.89 -> no excess over beta after wrapping into a long-only rule. Parked as a timing prior, not a sleeve.

Verdict

  • C1 TOY: REJECT (SR 0.07)
  • C2 TOM: REJECT (SR 0.24, p=0.213)
  • C3 TOQ: REJECT (SR 0.19, p=0.274)
  • C4 EOM-reversal: REJECT as a sleeve (SR 0.88 = B&H); discrimination note kept above.
