How the bar works

Every book is held to the same bar: a distribution of roughly 500 randomly-drawn control portfolios — plus frozen day-one snapshots and plain index trackers — that carry no skill by construction. A book only clears the bar when its result beats the 95th percentile of that random-null distribution, so beating the market once isn't enough — it has to beat the luck. The test is pre-registered and false-discovery-rate corrected, so running many books at once can't manufacture a winner by chance. (The handful of books tagged control in the table above are those fixed baselines shown alongside the strategies.)
