Thanks and welcome.

I enjoy answering questions like these. At first glance your strategy results look good for the following reason:

1. a decent number of trades for the given testing period - you dont want too many more trades than your denominator mentioned b/c it starts to become unrealistic.

2. you are obviously positive with your Net winnings.

Some things to improve on however is the ratio of average winners over average losers. I generally a a rule of thumb like a 2:1 ratio and yours is not close to that. Having a 2:1 ratio allows you to better account for slippage and commission rates in your modeling.
