Does it hold up on unseen data?

In-sample Sharpe (first 70%)
-0.50
Out-of-sample Sharpe (last 30%)
-1.69

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 lost money on the unseen window — the full-history number overstates it.
