Is this YTD return good? Any advice on how to look for new investments in 2026?

These numbers are from Fidelity:

My YTD Pre Tax - 20.34% (expected to be higher by the end of year).

S&P 500 Index - 12.44%.

Dow Jones US Total Stock Market Index - 10.98%

MSCI ACWI ex USA (Net MA Tax) - 23.76%

2026 Personal Goal - 25% to 30%

So far my strategy has been to buy low and sell high.

Edit: all of the above percentages are positive numbers. TBH can’t believe I have to specify that considering how whole list is set up.
