-84% off the 15.56 high and the backtest still turns 12,000 into 7,906. some coins you just leave alone
this. ATR is almost 7% a day, one green candle and the bagholders will be back yelling about web3 cloud compute
SELL on ICP after its already down from a 15.56 high, bold timing. whos left to sell at 2.48
trend systems always exit late, thats the deal. but targets at 3.00 on a SELL tag confuses me, price is 2.48
the 3.00 target is where the backtest books profit on the short side, not a prediction price will get there. the engine is direction agnostic, the SELL tag is just the signal
genuine question, does anyone actually build on ICP anymore or is it just node providers trading with themselves at 2.48
a few canister apps still chugging along but nothing you would tell a friend about. 3.60 resistance tells the story
last dev report had maybe 2 or 3 canister dapps with real users, the rest is ghost towns. the node provider theory is less crazy than it sounds at 2.48
backtest log shows 7 straight small wins plus one +8.6%. funny how these engine logs never show a losing stretch
ADX 25.3 on a strong bear trend plus OBV down and vol ratio 0.43. that lone golden cross bull factor is leftover from months ago. no position is a position
