Track Record 📈 Five years of my own broker-verified trading: ₩65.9M → ₩241.9M of total value ($49.3K → $181.1K) · 3.67× MOIC — compounding at 34.3% a year time-weighted (32.1% IRR) versus 15.1% for the KOSPI and 14.8% for the S&P 500, a +19.2 pp annual edge and +22.4% Jensen's alpha. ₩176.0M total profit with an 87% hit rate, 12.6× profit factor, Sharpe 0.94 / Sortino 2.20 and only 12 bp all-in trading cost; best trade +337% (HD Hyundai Heavy Industries). Every won reconciles to the Kiwoom statements, published in Korean and English. 🧰 Python · pdfplumber · pikepdf · openpyxl · TWR / Modified Dietz · XIRR · Sharpe / Sortino / Jensen α · KOSPI · S&P 500 · Nasdaq-100 benchmarks
Automated-DCF-ML
Engineers SEC Company Facts / XBRL data and fits Ridge & Elastic Net forecasts for six value drivers (revenue growth, EBIT margin, tax, D&A, CapEx, NWC intensity); converts them to NOPAT and FCFF, then a DCF to enterprise / equity value and fair value per share. Chronological training (through 2018) and testing (2022+).
