65% off the 294 high and the system still says no edge. catching that 98 support knife felt smart in june too
@longfade the sim sells on death cross, whole point is you miss the exact bottom. the 2yr backtest already prices in looking late
fair, but the sim also bought 104.13 straight into the slide. missing the exact bottom and missing an entire 20 percent drop are different misses
98 support held twice since june though. not saying buy, but the death cross sim selling every breakdown at 105 and rebuying at 120 is its own kind of bleed
RSI at 40.7 with price sitting on 98.80 support is the only part that tempts me. Still waiting for the 50d MA to turn before touching tranche one.
the 50d is sloping down and price sits under it, waiting is correct imo. last time RSI hung around 40 with a flat 50d, sol chopped for six weeks before anything moved
system says WAIT and honestly fair. above the 200d but cant even reclaim the 50d, thats a nothing burger chart
^ exactly. ADX 26 means the downtrend has real legs too, this isnt a bottom, its a pause
counterpoint: low was 60 and now its 102, the 200d held all year. calling stage 4 on a chart up 25 percent y/y is a choice lol
The Aug 19 sell at 85.37 banking +10.8% while everyone held is why I keep reading these. But the buy at 104.13 right before the slide, oof
the 98.80 line gets tested three times in a year and everyone still calls the chart boring. ill start tranche one when the 50d slope flips, not before
RSI at 40.7 with price still 24 percent off the high. Not adding anything until the 50d reclaims, hold is the right call
waiting for the 50d reclaim sounds smart until you remember the system already sold at 85.37 in august while everyone held. ill take the WAIT over getting chopped at 104 twice in one year
