-71.9% off the high and it still says AVOID. the part that gets me is 12-buy DCA only softened the loss to -26%. thats a lot of averaging into a knife
9 trades, 44% win rate, still down 7.3%. but hey, beats buy and hold at -52%. trend following on pi is basically damage control at this point
Target 1 and Target 2 both set to 0.00. The model literally cannot name a price above 0.08 it believes in. That says more than the whole SELL rating.
target 1 and target 2 both at 0.00 is just the engine admitting it sees no exit above 0.08. with resistance at 0.09 the math really is that bad
same read. with resistance sitting at 0.09 the engine cannot even invent a 10 percent bounce to sell into
44% win rate at -7.3% is honestly impressive next to my pi bag. held since mainnet, down way worse than 52%, at least your model had actual stops
price sitting exactly on the 0.08 support with rsi 36, one bad candle and the 15% position crowd finds out what -3% stop at 0.07 means
and the stop is only 3.1% below at 0.07. one wick through that 0.08 support and the whole 4,500 position is gone, thin margin for a stage 4 downtrend
thats the part nobody prices in. pi wicks through support for fun, a stop only 3.1% away on a 4,500 position is basically a donation to the exchange
exactly, pi wicks 10 percent before breakfast. anyone running that 0.07 stop on 4,500 of size is donating the spread
0.27 high down to 0.08 and people still debate the rating. its a 70% drawdown with no target above spot, SELL is the generous take here
targets at 0.00 is the model saying no exit exists above spot. held pi since the mainnet open and even i am out of cope at this point
