Hi ikoslela2
Some time ago, I also built a copy of the Morpheus strategy following Tom Gnade’s posting of his results.
I also could not replicate anything like those results, no matter how many times I attempted it.
I see that in his newer posts, he appears to have dropped his leveraged strategies (aka Morpheus), in favour of Cash Sharpe and Volatility limits.
I have come to realise that minimising drawdown whilst letting the gains accrue is the name of the game.
I suggest experimenting with the latter approaches above to see if your metrics improve.
