+21% on the backtest sounds nice until you see the -42.8% max drawdown on 30k. thats a rough ride to hodl through, most people would bail at -20
@vaultlibre_ the -42.8% drawdown includes the August chop. look at the trade log, four consecutive stop outs under 100 before the +35.2% runner. system works but you eat a lot of small losses first
the four stop outs before the runner is exactly why most people cant trade a system like this. math works, stomach doesnt
ADX 40.2 with OBV accumulation is a solid combo tbh. still 57% off the 399 high though, plenty of bagholders above waiting to sell into any rally
@Tomasz fair but RSI 59.9 with room to 82 before the system sells means trend can run. the MACD bearish flag is the only thing that gives me pause here
obv up with volume ratio 1.7 means the 399 bagholders get absorbed if it holds. adx 40 trends are exactly when you dont want to be clever with limit entries
the 399 bagholders are the reason 187 needs volume, not just a tap. limit entries fill exactly when the trend is dead
187 resistance plus adx 40 is the whole trade thesis in two numbers. break and hold above it or nothing else matters
38% win rate and people still call this a signal lol. agree it printed 21% but resistance at 187 is right there, id want a clean break before deploying tranche 2
38 percent win rate with a 21 percent net return is literally the design. the four stop outs before the runner are printed right in the log
the DCA table is the real story here. 12 buys returned +60.8% vs +38.2% lump sum on the same 30k. timing the entry matters more than the signal imo
that DCA gap closes fast in a stage 2 trend though. with the 50d rising you end up paying up for confirmation either way
DCA beating lump sum by 22 points on the same 30k says everything about adx 40 entries. you pay for confirmation either way
