This strategy made a substantial profit of 847.51% over its life, but the ride was extremely lumpy and painful. The worst stretch was a brutal drawdown of nearly 50% that lasted from mid-2017 to late 2019, meaning you would have watched your account shrink by half for over two years before recovering. The win rate is low at only 30.65%, so most trades lost money, but the winning trades were large enough to more than make up for the losses. The result is not driven by just a few lucky trades, as the entry timing shows a real edge, beating 81% of random entry runs, meaning the specific entry signal is adding significant value. The consistency figure shows the edge was present across most periods, as the strategy was profitable in 3 out of 4 walk-forward test periods, so the profit did not come from one lucky stretch.
