This strategy made a strong overall profit of over 318%, but the ride was extremely lumpy and painful. The worst moment was a brutal 50% drawdown that lasted over two years, from mid-2020 to late 2022, which would have tested anyone's patience. While the win rate is just above 50%, the average trade gained nearly 4%, so the winners were bigger than the losers. The entry timing is a key strength here, as real entries beat 93% of random entry runs, meaning the signal to buy when the Awesome Oscillator crosses above zero is doing the heavy lifting. The edge also appears reliable, as the strategy was profitable in three out of four walk-forward test periods, so the result is not just a fluke from one lucky stretch.
