How to read this backtest

The worst peak-to-trough fall was -16.8%: a $10,000 account would have dropped to about $8,325 at that point before recovering. The +18.6% CAGR is the annual rate that compounds the start value into the end value over 6.5 years; the return-to-drawdown ratio of 1.11 says how many points of annual return each point of worst-case loss bought. Compare strategies on that pair, not on CAGR alone.
