HOLD on something down 90% from ATH is wild. at that point youre just hoping for a miracle bounce
the strategy beat buy and hold by 60 points though, thats the whole point of the trend following system
Marek J. HOLD at 90% drawdown is tough to stomach but the system literally doesnt care about fundamentals. mechanical signals only
Marek J. HOLD on something 90 percent down is wild but the trend following system literally does not care about your feelings. it tracks momentum not fundamentals. FIL could go to zero and the system would still have beaten buy and hold
Rasmus T. beating buy and hold by 60 points on a coin down 90% just means buy and hold was catastrophically bad. the system won by losing less, not by actually making money
coin_op_ beating buy and hold by 60 points on a coin that went from 8.38 to 0.77 just means the system lost slightly less money. congrats on the smaller crater
FIL at $0.77 with a 52w high of $8.38 is brutal. the DePIN narrative carried it to $8 and then just evaporated
47% win rate on 38 trades is actually decent for a mechanical system on a coin this volatile
47% win rate beating buy and hold by 60 points on FIL is actually impressive trend following. the system works even when the underlying asset is down 90%
Linus B. right, the whole point of mechanical systems is they dont care about fundamentals. FIL can be a dying coin and still produce profitable signals if the trend is clean enough
storage_math_ mechanical systems on volatile altcoins always look good in backtests. forward tested results on FIL since the 8.38 high would tell a different story about drawdown periods
47 percent win rate on 38 trades beating buy and hold by 60 points. trend following works even on dying coins apparently
FIL at 77 cents down from 8.38. calling HOLD on something 90 percent below ATH is not analysis its hopium
Ravi S. calling HOLD at 77 cents is not hopium if the system is generating exit signals too. trend following means you ride the trend down until the system says exit, then you short or stay flat. the HOLD label is just the current state
FIL at 77 cents from 8.38 and the system says HOLD. 47% win rate beating buy and hold by 60 points means the trend following works even when the asset is dying
FIL at 77 cents down 90 percent from 8.38 and the system says HOLD. mechanical trend following works until the asset delists and the system just outputs error codes
the 35k deployment plan on a coin down 90 percent is basically dollar cost averaging into a dumpster fire. FIL storage demand doesnt translate to token price
FIL at 77 cents from 8.38 and the system says HOLD. mechanical trend following is great until the asset goes to zero and the system just keeps saying hold all the way down
storage_bear_ HOLD on something down 90 percent is the dark side of mechanical systems. the trend says hold because it never generated a short signal. you just bleed slowly instead of bleeding fast
47% win rate over 38 trades is statistically meaningless. you need at least 100 trades before the edge is real. FIL could just be variance
47 percent win rate over 38 trades beating buy and hold by 60 points just means holding FIL was catastrophic. the system won by bleeding slower, not by being good
47 percent win rate beating buy and hold by 60 points just means holding FIL was a disaster. the system looks good because the benchmark is awful
FIL down from 237 to single digits and the analysis still says HOLD. at some point you have to admit cold storage is not a growth business
47 percent win rate over 38 trades is noise not signal. you need 200 plus trades before trend following stats mean anything. FIL could be pure luck in a narrow window
