lol the trend following backtest turned 15k into 10.4k and the verdict is still hold. 72 trades at a 47% win rate, paying fees to lose slower than buy and hold
buy and hold was -28.3% over the same window tho, strategy only lost 2% more. weak take imo
people sleeping on the 6 month chart, +42.4%. above the 50d and the 200d with a golden cross, stage 2 is fine by me
Resistance at 74.91 sits more than 20% away. With RSI at 44.3 I would rather wait for a pullback toward 51.56 support before adding.
