This strategy made money, turning a 126.93% total return on AVGO over 22 trades. The ride was lumpy, with a sharp -26.65% drawdown from late February to early April 2025 that would have been painful to sit through. The high 86.36% win rate and average gain of 3.94% per trade suggest the result is not driven by just a few lucky winners, but rather by many small, consistent wins. The entry-timing edge is strong, with real entries beating 87% of random entries, meaning the specific timing of buying the dip is what carries the result rather than the exits. The consistency figure shows the edge held up across all four walk-forward periods, so the profit came steadily over time and not from one lucky stretch.
