This strategy made a substantial profit, turning a 2,820% return over its life, but the ride was very lumpy. The worst stretch was a brutal 41.70% drawdown that lasted about five months from late October 2025 to late March 2026, which would have been painful to sit through. The win rate is just under 49%, meaning almost half the trades lost money, but the winners were large enough to more than cover the losses. The entry timing is a key strength here, as the real entries outperformed 92% of random entry runs, so the edge is coming from getting in at the right moment rather than the exits. The consistency is solid, with the strategy being profitable in all four walk-forward test periods, so the edge is not a fluke from one lucky stretch.
