This strategy lost money because the profit factor is below 1.0 — meaning losses exceeded gains.
The win rate of 41.4% means more trades lost than won.
The Lesson
Not every strategy works in every market. LONG strategies struggle in bearish markets.
PRUVIQ publishes failures because that’s how you learn. 66% of strategies lose money — knowing which ones is the first step.
