This strategy made a strong profit of 291.55% over its life, but the ride was far from smooth. The worst stretch was a painful 35.27% drawdown from June to October 2018, which is where the strategy hurt the most. With a win rate of nearly 73% and an average trade gain of 2%, the results are not driven by just a few lucky trades, but rather consistent small wins. The entry timing shows a very strong edge, beating 99% of random entry runs, meaning the specific RSI(2) dip condition is doing the heavy lifting to get you into good trades. The consistency figure shows the edge held up in 3 out of 4 test periods, so the profitability came from steady performance across different market phases, not just one lucky stretch.
