Drawdown from the high-water mark
Shaded bands mark the tiers. The deeper the line, the harder the rules make me buy.

Every figure here is derived from the monthly prices in the site's own data file, using the rules published on the Strategy page. Where a month is marked ≠, what I actually bought differed from what the rules called for, and both numbers are shown. Figures in US dollars and they ignore brokerage, FX conversion costs, tax and dividends. The real return is a little worse than what you see here, and I'd rather say so than quietly leave it out.
