This strategy made a strong profit of nearly 380% over its life, but the ride was far from smooth. The worst hit was a gut-wrenching drawdown of over 32% that lasted from late 2018 through the COVID crash in March 2020, which would have been very hard to sit through. The high win rate of 77% suggests most trades were small winners, but the average gain of just 2.27% per trade means the overall result was not driven by a few huge home runs. The entry timing is a standout here, with real entries beating 97% of random entry attempts, so the specific moment you buy the RSI dip is carrying the strategy. The edge was also consistent, showing up as profitable in three out of four separate test periods, meaning the performance did not come from just one lucky stretch.
