Outcome streaks (over the entire history)

  • Max. winning streak: 5
  • Max. losing streak: 12
  • Current streak: 2 win

With a risk of 1.5 × ATR, a streak of 12 losing signals in a row gives a drawdown of approximately 12R. This is the expected behavior of the strategy at the stated hit rate.

Comparison of MTF groups

Historical results of signals depending on alignment with the higher trend. Two cuts are shown: over the last 30 signals and over the entire history.

Last 30 WIN / Total
Over the entire history WIN / Total
🟩
Confirmed by the higher trend
8 WIN / 18 44.4%
44 WIN / 120 36.7%
🟥
Counter-trend
6 WIN / 12 50.0%
34 WIN / 116 29.3%

Over the last 30 signals, counter-trend ones showed a higher hit rate (50.0%) than confirmed ones (44.4%). An observation for the current period — the market may be in a regime where accounting for the higher trend does not provide an advantage.

Outcome distribution

+3 ATR (full TP) 78
−1.5 ATR (full SL) 158

Timeout is not counted in winrate, since in this situation the trade did not end with reaching either TP or SL.

FAQ

What does winrate mean and why can it be below 50%?

Winrate is the share of signals where the price reached Take Profit before Stop Loss. With a Risk/Reward of 1:2, the breakeven point is at 33.3%, so a winrate below 50% is normal.

Why is the 95% confidence interval shown?

The 95% Wilson confidence interval shows the statistical uncertainty of the hit rate estimate for a given sample size. The more observations, the narrower the interval.

What is timeout?

Timeout is a situation where, within 100 bars, the price reached neither Take Profit nor Stop Loss. Such signals are not counted in winrate to avoid distorting the statistics.
