Diagnosis

This strategy made a substantial amount of money, turning a starting account into over eight times its original value. However, the ride was very lumpy, with a brutal maximum drawdown of over 41% that lasted more than a year, which would have been a painful test of patience. The high win rate of 72% suggests the strategy was right most of the time, but the average gain per trade was modest, so the overall profit came from many small wins rather than a few home runs. The entry timing is a key strength, as the real entries beat 85% of random entries, meaning the specific moment you bought in was a major driver of the success. Finally, the edge was consistent, as the strategy was profitable in all four tested time periods, showing the result wasn't just a lucky streak.
