Diagnosis

This SuperTrend follower on AVGO made a substantial profit, turning a 621% total return over 34 trades. The ride was moderately steady, with a Sharpe ratio of 1.01 and a solid 55.88% win rate, but it did have one painful stretch. The worst drawdown was a deep 31.18% loss that lasted from June to December 2024, which is where the strategy hurt the most. The result is not driven by just a few lucky trades, as the entry-timing edge is strong, beating 89% of random entry runs, meaning the entry signal itself is doing the heavy lifting. The consistency figure shows the edge held up across all four walk-forward test periods, so the profit came from a reliable pattern rather than a single lucky streak.
