"Is this good?" with a screenshot of an equity curve is hard to answer. These five things make it easy:

  1. Market, timeframe and period. For example ETH-USDT perpetual, 4h, the last two years.
  2. The rules in words. What opens a trade, what closes it, where the stop is. If you built it in Evident, use the Discuss in Forum button in Studio to pre-fill the exact metrics and rule table.
  3. Costs. The fees and slippage you assumed. A strategy that trades a lot can live or die on this.
  4. The honest numbers. Trade count, the out-of-sample result next to the in-sample one, and the Monte Carlo range for drawdown. Fewer than 30 trades is an anecdote, not a result.
  5. What you already tried. How many variations did you test before this one? If it was fifty, say so; it changes how much the best one means.

Please don't post strategies as recommendations for others to trade. Share them as experiments.
