Stock & Crypto Backtests: Strategy vs. Buy and Hold
Clutch Swing explores an investment approach that aims to limit drawdowns while pursuing long-term capital growth.
This dashboard compares its historical performance with buying and holding the same asset. Explore backtest charts, period-by-period return tables, and the latest recorded signals across stocks, gold, and cryptocurrencies.
Select an asset to view its charts and return comparisons.
Apple (AAPL) · NVIDIA (NVDA) · Gold (GLD)
Bitcoin (BTC) · Ethereum (ETH) · Ethereum Classic (ETC) · XRP · Dogecoin (DOGE)
Review cumulative returns across 1, 3, 5, 7, and 9 year views. Each return table compares the Clutch Swing strategy with buy and hold, shows the difference in percentage points, and identifies the actual analysis dates.
Where available history is shorter than the requested period, the charts leave the unavailable portion blank.
Use price and volume charts to review market movements, and compare the strategy and buy-and-hold results over the same period.
“Latest Signal” and “Latest Signal Date” identify the most recent recorded signal. The signal date may differ from the latest price-data date.
Visit the Documents page for explanations of the charts and performance metrics.
Explore dated AI assessments of Clutch Swing, including the original GPT-4o commentary from June 2024 and the GPT-6 Astra Medium assessment from September 2026.
The newer assessment examines long-term returns and maximum drawdowns. Each assessment is preserved as a record of the model’s interpretation at the time, rather than updated with the latest dashboard figures.
The dashboard uses daily price data and is updated once per day. It is not a real-time service. Always check the data date shown on each asset page.
Returns shown in the period tables are cumulative, not annualized. Backtest results exclude transaction fees and slippage. Historical performance and AI commentary do not guarantee future returns.
This dashboard is for research and informational purposes, not investment advice.
