APH
AMPHENOL CDR
stock TSE

I am an amateur investor who started investing in 2016 with the hopes to build wealth for myself and my family. The first 7 years were a rollercoaster and I lost quite a bit of money trying to understand how things work, however by the time 2022 rolled around, I felt like I started to get a hang of it with a new strategy I have now been using ever since.
I am not sure however if my performance since then to now has been luck vs skill and I am posting here to see if my stats can be teased apart to see if which one it is. If someone is able to convincingly help me determine which one is more likely or had a greater weighting (luck vs skill), this will allow me to improve my risk management. Any feedback or input is much appreciated.
**Here are my stats calculated between October 10, 2022 – April 26, 2026. Oct 10 is the day I implemented the strategy and have kept it going since then.**
Sharpe Ratio: 1.47
IRR: 124.2% (18.9% of this is timing so Time Weighted would be 105.5%). I hold 20 stocks on average targeting equal weightings, and rebalance once every 2 – 3 months.
Correlation with SP500: 0.93
Beta: 0.65
Max Drawdown: 12.2%
Volatility: 0.12
I thought disclosing my top 10 performing holdings over this period would also help determine luck vs. skill:

Over this period, unrealized and realized losses accounted for 14.7% of my total gain.
I would appreciate any insight from anyone who has the time. Thank you in advance for anyone who takes the time to respond!
