Backtest detail

Fills at the next bar's open, 10bps per side for fees and slippage. Single series, in-sample — treat as indicative, not as a promise.

A low win rate here is correct. This system pays through asymmetry, not hit rate. Tightening the trail raises the win rate and lowers the return — that is the trade Livermore spent the book warning about.
