This strategy made a strong profit of 348.81% over 68 trades, but the ride was lumpy with a worst drawdown of -32.84% that hit hard in late October 2018. That drawdown is significant and shows where the strategy hurt most, likely catching a severe dip that didn't bounce quickly. The win rate is high at 70.59%, and the average trade gained 2.37%, which suggests the result is not driven by just a few huge winners but by many small, consistent wins. The entry-timing edge is strong, with real entries beating 86% of random entry runs, meaning the entry signal itself is carrying the result rather than the exits doing the heavy lifting. The consistency figure shows the edge held up across all four walk-forward periods, so the profit came steadily over time rather than from one lucky stretch.
