This strategy made a solid profit of 225.5% over 59 trades, but the ride was far from smooth. The worst stretch was a painful 27.36% drawdown from early July to early August 2024, which would have tested your patience. With a win rate of nearly 78% and an average gain of 2.17% per trade, the strategy did not rely on just a few big winners to produce its result. The entry timing shows a real edge, beating 84% of random entry runs, meaning the specific moment you buy is a key driver of the profit. The consistency figure shows the edge held up in 3 out of 4 test periods, so the performance was not just a lucky one-time streak.
