This SuperTrend follower on NFLX made a strong 252% overall, but the ride was very lumpy. The worst stretch was a brutal 46.82% drawdown that lasted nearly two years, from July 2020 to April 2022, which would have been painful to sit through. With 35 trades and a 60% win rate, the result is not driven by just a few lucky trades, as the average gain per trade is a solid 4.53%. The entry timing shows a real edge, beating 77% of random entries, meaning the specific entry signals are carrying much of the result rather than the exits. The edge was not consistent across all periods, as the strategy was only profitable in 3 out of 4 walk-forward test periods, so the profit came from one stretch of strong performance.
