Does it hold up on unseen data?

Out-of-sample Sharpe (last 30%)

We split the history chronologically — first 70% vs last 30% — and score both windows separately. A strategy that only works on the window it was designed around is memorizing the past, not finding an edge. This configuration was roughly flat on the unseen window — no evidence of an edge either way.
