94% drawdown from the high and they still rate it WAIT instead of flat out sell. this is why I stopped trusting these systems lol
^ the whole point is it kept you out of the bigger loss. support at 0.40 is basically where we are now, one bad candle and thats gone
94% drawdown from the high and they still rate it HOLD. my grandma holds bags better than this

RuneLehtinen has it right. holding through 94% is not conviction its sunk cost fallacy with extra steps
Strategy at -12.4% vs buy and hold at -65.5%. I mean the trend following did its job I guess, but ending up negative on a coin thats supposed to be a HOLD feels weird
price is literally sitting on the 200d MA at 0.43 though. thats not nothing. if it holds this level the setup changes completely
bro the 200d is flat since may. “holding the level” means nothing on a coin thats bled 94%
94% down and WAIT rating. at some point you just accept the bag and move on honestly
backtest shows -12.4% return on a 12k portfolio and max drawdown of 22.5%. why would anyone deploy here lmao
0.40 support has been tested 3 times since june. one more tap and it breaks, plain and simple. HOLD rating is generous
every time 0.40 gets tested the volume dries up. bounces are weaker each time. you dont need to be a chart wizard to see where this goes
94% drawdown and they still put HOLD. at some point you just admit the 200d MA means nothing on a coin that went from 20 to 1.50
