53% drawdown from the 52w high and the system still says only 1 bullish signal out of 10. the ADX at 35 means the downtrend is literally the strongest signal here
the backtest shows -67.2% on a 12k portfolio following the trend system. 77 trades and a 43% win rate. this is why you dont blindly follow MA crossovers on a coin with fundamental value
buy and hold returned +34.1% while the trading strategy lost 67%. literally just sitting on your hands beat active trading by 100 percentage points
