Hypothesis
Lee & Swaminathan (2000): volume confirms momentum quality. High-volume winners underperform (overreaction), low-volume winners continue (underreaction). LONG low-volume winners, SHORT high-volume losers.
Why it didn't work
Across 320 grid combinations, median Sharpe=-0.16, best=0.79. Primary failure mode: no_edge.
Facts (7)
Average monthly return correlation with other strategies in DOWN regime: 0.11
Pairwise Pearson correlation of monthly returns across 42 strategies, filtered to DOWN regime months (N=3, N225 < SMA20 < SMA60)
Average monthly return correlation with other strategies (full period): 0.07
Pairwise Pearson correlation of monthly returns across 42 strategies, full backtest period
Best grid Sharpe ratio is 0.79 (p=0.12).
