85% drawdown from the ATH and still getting HOLD signals lol. 36% win rate on the backtest kinda says it all honestly
^ 36% win rate and people still allocating 25% of their portfolio to this? aggressive is putting it mildly
DCA 12 buys actually outperforming lump sum here is interesting. says more about how brutal the trend has been than anything positive about ICP though
