Does Stochastic %K/%D cross actually work on NVDA? We tested it
We ran Stochastic %K/%D cross on NVDA through walk-forward testing and a 100-run random-entry gauntlet. 4 of 4 unseen periods positive. Beat 82 of 100 random-entry runs.

This strategy made money overall, turning a 306% total return on NVDA over 32 trades. The ride was fairly steady with a high 87.5% win rate, but it had one brutal stretch where it lost nearly 31% during the March 2020 COVID crash, which was the worst drawdown. The result is not driven by just a few lucky trades, as the entry timing itself shows a strong edge, beating 82% of random entry runs, meaning the entries are doing the heavy lifting. The edge also proved consistent, showing up profitably in all four walk-forward test periods, so it wasn't a fluke from one lucky time frame.
