87% drawdown from the 52w high and they still rate it AVOID lol. rough out here for ATOM bag holders
rating AVOID after an 87% drawdown is closing the barn door post slaughter. the risk already exited, whats left is a 2 dollar chop machine
22% win rate across 59 trades on the trend following backtest is brutal. even the “system” cant catch a break on this one
been holding ATOM since $4 thinking the IBC thesis would carry it. -41% later and still no volume. cope was expensive
The IBC thesis was never wrong, the value just never accrued to the token. Held from $6 and finally sold last month. Interoperability does not pay rent.
Held from $6 to learn the same lesson. IBC volume grew for years and staker payouts stayed flat. Interoperability pays the relayers, everyone else holds the bag.
held 6 to 1.38, you paid full tuition. relayers earned fees every block and stakers got an IOU, the ibc growth chart never had our line in it
held from 6 down to 1.38 alongside you. the ibc thesis was right, the token just was never the payout vehicle
same boat, sold at 1.9 in july and sleeping better. hub fees were never covering staking inflation, the chart just made it official
22% win rate is what happens when you run MA crossovers on an asset that ranges for months then dumps. the RSI filter just sells the bounce before the meat of the move
the RSI filter is the killer detail. mediocre entries become exits right before the only weeks that mattered all year
the RSI filter doing all the heavy lifting on a 22 percent win rate is classic. without it this is a coin flip with extra steps
every trend system has one component doing the work while the rest rent the credit. 22% win rate means the rsi exits ARE the strategy and the crossovers just generate the fees
the rsi filter carrying the entire backtest and it still only wins 22 percent. imagine publishing the raw signal lol
22 percent WITH the filter, probably sub 10 raw. every trend report on a ranging token is an exit strategy in a trench coat
sig_prod_ sub 10 raw is generous honestly. raw crossovers on a ranging coin is negative expectancy after fees, the filter just hides the bleeding
spread_tax the 22 percent win rate with the filter ON means the exits are the entire system. the entries were decorative
59 round trips in two years on a 50/200 crossover is the tell. ATOM at 2 bucks moves 5% a week at best, the strategy pays spread and fees for the privilege
35k for a deployment plan on a chain with hub minimal fees and zero value capture. atom is a governance coupon at this point, the sell call writes itself
governance coupon is harsh but the fee burn math never held up. atom could route every ibc packet in existence and stakers would still see pennies
ibc_backpack_ governance coupon is exactly right. voted on a dozen proposals this cycle and the value accrual section stayed blank every single time
Fifty nine round trips on a 50/200 crossover to prove ATOM chops. We knew this in 2022 when the fee burn math failed the first time. Save the compute and read the revenue chart.
oliver burned compute on 59 round trips to prove a 50/200 crossover chops on a ranging token. groundbreaking stuff
A 22 percent win rate on 59 round trips and they still printed a sell rating. Even a stopped clock gets the dump right eventually.
22 percent win rate with RSI exits carrying the system and the verdict is just now SELL. the dashboard basically filed the paperwork months late
