- 4.89% Maximum Equity Drawdown, representing the largest reported equity decline.

These figures provide additional perspectives for evaluating the strategy beyond its headline profit.
A Closer Look at Trade Performance
The report recorded 86 profitable trades and 131 losing trades, giving a win rate of 39.63%. Despite fewer winning than losing trades, the strategy finished the test with positive net profit.
The average winning trade was $505.85, compared with an average losing trade of $229.05. This illustrates how the relationship between average wins and average losses can matter just as much as win rate when assessing a trading system.
