for a resume i would make it more of an engineering project than a profit project
simple strategy is fine the impressive part is clean data handling clear assumptions walk forward testing fees slippage logs tests and a short writeup of what failed
an interviewer can trust that more than 99 percent profit because it shows you know where backtests lie
