This strategy made money, turning a 57% total return over 17 trades. The ride was fairly steady with a high 88% win rate, but it had one painful stretch where it lost over 10% in late 2018, which was the worst drawdown. That single losing period was the main source of pain, and since the win rate is so high, the result is not driven by just a few big winners. The entry timing shows a solid edge, beating 77% of random entries, meaning the specific conditions for getting in are carrying the result rather than the exits. The edge also proved consistent, as the strategy was profitable in all four walk-forward test periods, so it wasn't a fluke from one lucky stretch.
