Sizing**Position size:** no fixed stop distance to size against. This strategy exits on signal only. Size by conviction, or add a hard stop for a size-by-risk number.
Diagnosis

This strategy made a substantial profit of 1247% over its life, but the ride was very lumpy. The worst stretch was a brutal 44.87% drawdown that lasted over a year from September 2018 to October 2019, which would have been painful to sit through. With only 37 trades over the entire period, the result is driven by a relatively small number of bets, though the 54% win rate shows it won more than it lost. The entry timing is strong, as real entries beat 90% of random entry runs, meaning the specific signals are doing the heavy lifting rather than the exits. The edge was consistent across time, showing up in 3 out of 4 walk-forward test periods, so the profit was not just from one lucky stretch.
