This strategy made a strong profit of 373% over 79 trades, but the ride was very lumpy. The worst stretch was a brutal 35% drawdown that lasted from mid-2018 to early 2020, meaning you would have watched your account shrink for over a year and a half before recovering. While the win rate is just under 50%, the average winning trade was large enough to overcome the losers. The entry timing shows a real edge, beating 86% of random entry runs, so the entry signal itself is carrying the result rather than the exits. The consistency figure shows the edge held up in 3 out of 4 walk-forward periods, so the profit was not just from one lucky stretch.
