This SuperTrend follower strategy made a substantial profit of nearly 1950% over its life, but the ride was extremely lumpy. The worst period was a brutal drawdown of nearly 40% that lasted from mid-2017 to early 2019, meaning you would have watched your account shrink for a year and a half before recovering. The entry timing is a major strength here, as the real entries outperformed 90% of random entry attempts, so the signal for getting in is doing the heavy lifting rather than the exits. The strategy was profitable in all four walk-forward periods, showing the edge was consistent across different market conditions rather than coming from one lucky stretch. With only 41 trades over the entire period, the result is not driven by a few outliers, but the low trade count means you would have spent a lot of time just waiting for the next signal.
