It's generic trendfollowing. Have a look at the real-life trendfollower indices over the past 10 years. Are they making anything like 20%?

It has a Sharpe of around 0.8 +/- 0.15 over a lengthy backtest period, (accounting for fees and spreads), although it’s fair to say that recent performance (since 2000) is not nearly as good as past performance. The equity curve it produces is very similar to Winton etc.
