BUYHOLDQUALIFIED BuyHoldQualified v1.0 - Passive Basket Control
Comparison baseline: simply holding an equal-weight basket of the largest-cap stocks that pass basic eligibility - no strategy logic at all. If the three real engines can't beat this, that's a real result. Version v1 - status ACTIVE - weekly evaluation cadence.
NOT a strategy - a true buy-and-hold-forever passive basket, ranked only by market cap.
Deliberately excluded from the adaptive-learning layer - a control must stay a fixed, naive baseline.
Known limitations:
- No real Protected-NBBO/executable-quote feed - synthetic liquidity-tier spreads used instead (same substitution as every other lab).
- Entries/exits fill at the next COMPLETED WEEK's first available open (no true weekly-open microstructure feed exists) - strictly no-look-ahead, but this lab is weekly-bar-driven, not daily/intraday.
- No quarterly-fundamentals-HISTORY feed (only a trailing-twelve-months snapshot from Finnhub/Yahoo) - 'is the business's quality trend improving' is read from price action (trend/relative-strength), never fabricated from invented historical fundamentals. Disclosed per-engine.
- No sector-relative valuation feed - score_valuation() uses a flat ~20 fair-P/E assumption, the exact same simplification the live public Invest-horizon composite score already uses (weight_profiles.py).
- Regime is a single broad-market weekly SPY-trend read (Supportive/Neutral/Adverse), not swing_lab's fuller breadth/volatility/panic-rebound machinery - a long-horizon book doesn't need to react to short-term volatility spikes.
- No pairwise correlation matrix - concentration risk is managed via a simple max-3-positions-per-subsector cap instead (YAGNI at an 8-position-max concentrated book).
- HistoricalTwin/adaptive component weights share the exact same statistics engine as Day-Trade/Swing-Trade Labs (bullyeah_engine.adaptive_learning) - stays observer-only until 30+ closed episodes exist, per that module's own gating rule.
This is a research hypothesis, not a proven profitable methodology.
Evidence (Insufficient Evidence):
Needs at least 15 completed trades AND 15 independent entry days before any read is meaningful (spec section 39.1) - 0 trades so far. No significance testing applied above that floor either - see module docstring for what's deferred (PBO, Deflated Sharpe, bootstrap CIs, walk-forward holdout).
