This strategy made money, turning a 174% total return on AVGO over 38 trades. The ride was lumpy, not smooth, with a Sharpe ratio of 0.79 and a painful worst drawdown of -31.30% that lasted from December 2024 to April 2025. That drawdown is where it hurt most, and it shows the strategy can suffer deep, prolonged losses even though it wins 81.58% of the time. The result is not driven by just a few lucky trades, as the entry timing has a real edge, beating 80% of random entry runs, meaning the entry signal itself is carrying the performance. The edge is also consistent, showing up profitably in all 4 walk-forward test periods, so it is not a fluke from one lucky stretch.
