Strategy Cup Tier for MS
AI-generated plain-English read of strategy cup tier for MS. Updated daily.
Strong tier — no statistical validation
lowCup-3 performance (an unknown margin) without MC validation. The outperformance is real on the val window but statistically indistinguishable from a lucky run — proceed with caution.
What will probably happen
- High cup tier without MC significance: in-sample results look good but the forward edge is unconfirmed — reduce size and watch the next val window closely.
- Walk-forward stability data is not available — robustness cannot be assessed.
- 10-29 trades — the sample is thin. Percentile statistics are noisy and overfit risk is elevated.
What to do
- If you HOLD this stock and follow this strategy
- Strong tier but incomplete validation — hold with reduced position size. Set a drawdown trigger to re-evaluate if performance decays.
- If you're EVALUATING whether to use this strategy
- Strong tier without validation — paper-trade. Strong cup without MC significance often reflects lucky optimisation on the training window.
- If you trade OPTIONS on this strategy's signals
- Don't increase options size on this strategy's signals — the edge may not persist out-of-sample. Treat signals as weak directional hints only.
Weak credibility profile — no MC significance or DSR support.

Caveats
- Cup tiers reflect val-window performance. Live forward returns may differ from backtest — even validated strategies have drawdown risk.
- High cup tier without MC significance is a classic overfit warning sign. The in-sample optimiser can find parameter sets that look exceptional on the training window without generalisable edge.
