This strategy made a strong 312% total return on AVGO, but the ride was very lumpy. The worst moment was a brutal 48% drawdown from mid-February to mid-March 2020, which shows that the setup can get crushed during sharp market drops. The high win rate of 80% and 36 trades suggest the result is not driven by just a few lucky trades, but the max drawdown is severe enough to test your patience. The entry timing is a major strength here, as real entries beat 95% of random entry runs, meaning the specific moment you get in is carrying the result rather than the exits. The edge was consistent across three out of four walk-forward periods, so the performance did not come from just one lucky stretch.
