Does Five-day-low pullback actually work on AMD? We tested it
We ran Five-day-low pullback on AMD through walk-forward testing and a 100-run random-entry gauntlet. 4 of 4 unseen periods positive. Beat 86 of 100 random-entry runs.
You gave up raw return for a higher win rate and a shallower drawdown. This setup is about timing and staying out of trouble, not beating the index.

This strategy made a substantial profit, turning a 1006% total return over 117 trades. The ride was fairly steady with a high win rate of 72.65%, but it had one very painful stretch where the account dropped 40.30% from early to late October 2018, which is where it hurt the most. The result is not driven by just a few lucky trades, as the average trade returned a solid 2.27%. The entry timing is carrying the result, because the real entries beat 86% of random entry runs, meaning the specific moments you got in added significant value. The edge is consistent, as the strategy was profitable in all four walk-forward test periods, so the profit came steadily across different market conditions rather than from one lucky stretch.
