Diagnosis

The Double 7s strategy on NFLX made money overall, turning a 147% total return across 76 trades. The ride was very lumpy, with a brutal 45.6% drawdown that lasted nearly a year from early 2021 into early 2022, which is where the strategy hurt the most. The high 73.68% win rate and average gain of just 1.39% per trade suggest the results are not driven by a handful of home runs, but rather by many small, consistent wins. The entry timing shows a real edge, beating 81% of random entry runs, meaning the specific conditions for getting in are carrying the result rather than the exits doing the heavy lifting. The edge was not steady across all periods, as the strategy was profitable in only 3 out of 4 walk forward test periods, indicating one stretch of poor performance.
