MACD Histogram Momentum
Verified — this backtest ran on Tessen's own engine and data. The inputs can't be faked.
Simulated at responsible sizing, the worst drawdown hits 56% — deep enough that most people abandon the strategy exactly at the bottom. Historically, 22.6% of ALL graded strategies also fail this (N=137).
Try: Cut risk per trade, tighten the catastrophe stop, or reduce concurrent positions. An edge you can't hold through its drawdown is an edge you don't have.
Performance collapses between the training and test periods — the parameters fit historical noise, not a repeatable mechanism. Historically, 2.9% of ALL graded strategies also fail this (N=137).
Try: Simplify: fewer conditions, rounder parameter values (RSI 30, not 28.7), wider regime windows. If a small parameter change kills it, it was never real.

A Tessen Grade is a historical, out-of-sample statistical measurement — not investment advice, a prediction, or a guarantee of future results. Most strategies fail; a passing grade can stop working as markets change. Trading involves substantial risk of loss. Full risk disclosure
