This strategy made a lot of money, turning a 356% total return, but the ride was not steady. The worst hit was a sharp 18.48% drop in March 2020, which lines up with the COVID crash, so that was the painful moment. The win rate is very high at 92%, but with only 26 trades, you need to check if most of the profit came from just a few big winners. The entry timing shows a strong edge, beating 86% of random entries, meaning the specific setup of buying a dip in an uptrend is doing the heavy lifting. The consistency is solid, as the strategy was profitable in all four walk-forward periods, so the edge is not a fluke from one lucky stretch.
