Best algorithm ever so far, recommendation

I'm thinking of maybe integrating another algo with mine, allocating a certain percentage of cash to each strategy, side by side in one.

Don't know how many hundreds of fine algos have been posted on Quantopian already to date.
Can you (the person reading this) point to any algo that you consider the best you have seen so far?
I will not critique it here, will simply try it. Many thanks.

Edit: Would prefer any specific single algo.

I like this code from Jamie Lunn, modified here only a little bit in the backtest below. There are some changes on that page by others.
Screenshots are different date ranges (around 34 months) as far back as this set of securities could go (2007).
In the custom chart, the Profit_vs_Risk_Return just shows an alternate returns calc reflecting the maximum spent which was not all of the initial capital, I wasn't able to find a way to use more of the initial capital while keeping its positives. The long term test comes out to only ~13.7% per year however it seems dependable.

Hi Gary, played around with the code and optimised it such that it has a higher Alpha but also a higher beta ... 0.55 is OK for me. It follows the perf of the market but with lower beta
