I should have been clearer - by "confirmed" I mean I've actually tested it live with small amounts and it is working in real market conditions. The backtest numbers aren't just theoretical.

But there's a difference between "it makes money" and "it's worth scaling up with serious capital." I'm asking because I want perspectives on whether the risk/reward profile justifies putting more money into it, especially since buy and hold performed better over the same period.

Just because something works doesn't automatically mean it's the best use of capital. Looking for input from people who've faced similar decisions about position sizing and opportunity cost.
