XIRR is the money-weighted annual rate of this exact schedule: each buy counts for how long it was actually held, which is the honest way to score periodic saving. Sharpe and Sortino describe the asset’s own daily swings over the same window, regardless of the schedule (Sortino only penalizes the downward ones), annualized on each market’s own calendar.
