This strategy made money overall, turning a 140% gain on AVGO with a high win rate of nearly 73%, meaning most trades were winners. However, the ride was very lumpy, as the worst drawdown hit -22.3% and lasted over two years from early 2018 to early 2020, which would have been a painful period to hold through. The entry timing is a key strength here, since the real entries beat 94% of random entry runs, so the setup is doing a great job of catching good dips rather than the exits carrying the result. The edge appears fairly steady, as the strategy was profitable in 3 out of 4 walk-forward periods, so the performance is not just from one lucky stretch. Overall, the strategy works but demands patience during long drawdowns, and it is not driven by just a few big trades given the high number of 84 trades.
