81% down from the 0.19 high and the system still says wait. Honestly respect the discipline, everyone who tried to catch this knife since the top is down bad.
backtest turned 30k into 15k and thats the strategy, buy and hold was -70%. brutal either way. kas needs to reclaim 0.05 before i even look again
48 trades at a 46% win rate to lose half the stack. it only beat buy and hold because it sat in cash half the time lol
kinda the point though, -48.9% vs -70.3% means it lost less. but yeah ADX at 18 is flat and trendless, no trade is the right read here
The DCA table is the real story here. 6 buys returned +3.6% while 4 buys did -3.3%, the timing luck swings 7 points on the same coin
target 1 and target 2 both at 0.00 (-100%) in the deployment plan feels like a data bug nobody caught. stop at 0.03 makes sense at least
