What Went Wrong
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. Most configurations we test lose money — every one of the 17 strategy families in our research ledger carries a failing verdict. Knowing which ones is the first step.
