Does 200 WMA Filter help BB Squeeze?

Not Decidable✗ below the multiple-testing threshold

Enough runs, but they disagree: the effect's 90% interval straddles the ±1 percentage-point line. Claiming a direction would assert more precision than the data supports.

Multiple-testing threshold

▼

Testing several filters on the same data raises the chance that one looks good by luck. SR̂₀ = 0.238 is the Sharpe the best of 9 trials (no filter + every filter of this strategy) would reach by chance alone — computed from the spread of these trials' Sharpe values (extreme-value formula per Bailey & López de Prado 2014).

The filter passes when its Sharpe (-0.086) lies above SR̂₀. This is a threshold test, not a probability: a true Deflated Sharpe would need each run's period count, skew and kurtosis. All Sharpe values are annualized over 365 calendar days.
