This strategy made money overall, turning a 125.78% total return on META with a high win rate of nearly 88%, meaning most trades were winners. However, the ride was very lumpy, with a worst drawdown of -32.96% that occurred during the COVID crash in early 2020, which would have been a painful period to hold through. The result is not driven by just a few lucky trades, as the average trade returned a solid 2.63% across 33 trades. The entry-timing edge is strong, with real entries beating 92% of random entry runs, so the entry signal itself is carrying the result rather than the exits. Consistency was decent, with the edge showing up in 3 out of 4 walk-forward periods, meaning the strategy worked steadily across different market stretches rather than relying on one lucky streak.
