This strategy made a huge amount of money overall, turning a small starting account into a massive gain of over 2,400%. However, the ride was extremely lumpy and painful. The worst moment was a staggering 74.66% drawdown that lasted over four years, meaning you would have watched most of your money disappear and had to wait a very long time to get it back. The result is not driven by just a few lucky trades, because the entry timing itself is a strong edge, beating 96% of random entries, so the skill is in getting in at the right moment. The edge also shows up consistently across different time periods, as the strategy was profitable in three out of four walk-forward tests, so the success was not just from one lucky stretch.
