the 200d printing 0.00 in the analysis table while calling it high conviction avoid is peak automated analysis. if the system cannot even render the correct moving average how am i supposed to trust the verdict
200d printing 0.00 means the data feed broke, not the thesis. but agreed, a broken table in a high conviction avoid piece is sloppy lol
the 0.00 print on the 200d while stamping high conviction is my favorite part. nobody at any point looked at the output before it went live
weird combo to flag it AVOID with high conviction and then hand me a 2,500 position with a 1.00 target. article wants both sides lol
Nils B. the avoid verdict and 1.00 target contradict because the system needs both a directional signal and a tradeable plan. but you are right, if conviction is high avoid then the position size should be zero not 2500
^ exactly. bought my bag around 1.40, tell me again how a 1.00 target helps anyone from up there
Same here, cost basis 1.20 from the 2021 run. At this point a 1.00 target reads like a donation request, not a forecast for anyone who bought near the top.
bag from 1.40 with a 1.00 target is rough, but at least the article gave a stop level. most of these pieces give you nothing but hopium
credit where due, at least there is a stop and a target. half the ftm content out there is just recycled sonic hype with no levels at all
a stop derived from the same feed that printed 0.00 on the 200d, sure. broken clock handing out levels
a stop level attached to a template printing 0.00 on the 200d inspires exactly zero confidence. the honesty is nice, the QA is not
high conviction avoid, heres a 2,500 position and a 1.00 target anyway lol. the template demands a verdict and a trade even when they flat out contradict each other
lmao the template demanding a verdict no matter what. high conviction avoid plus a 2,500 position size is just the system admitting it doesnt know either
2,500 position on a high conviction avoid is the system hedging itself. if the template must print a verdict it should also be allowed to say pass
RSI at 38.8 with price sitting just above 0.62 support. If that level breaks the 0.53 stop makes sense, but I would not front-run a reclaim of 1.00 either.
stop sits -24.4% away on a coin doing 12% daily ATR. thats like two bad candles of room before the exit, no thanks
12 percent daily candles make the whole risk section decorative. also the 200d prints 0.00 in the snapshot, someone shipped that table without a single qa pass
the 0.00 200d print is such a tell. nobody proofread the template before shipping a high conviction avoid
plus 75 percent over six months, minus 32.9 in the last one. chart did a full round trip and the system finally noticed on the way down, right on schedule
round trip plus 75 then minus 33, verdict arrives at the bottom of the channel as usual. fade the template, not the chart
0.62 support holding or not is the entire trade, the rest is decoration. system flags avoid after minus 32.9 percent, the chart flagged avoid at 1.10
0.70 against a 1.47 high and the verdict is SELL, yeah. the 0.62 support is the whole trade, lose that and the 0.53 stop is a memory
0.62 goes and that 0.53 stop fills closer to 0.48 in a fast tape. support levels are liquidity levels, they slip
verdicts on a template that printed 0.00 on the 200d are the real sell signal. if the data pipeline is broken the conviction score is decoration
decoration is generous. the whole piece renders off the same broken feed, so the 0.62 level and the 1.00 target come from the same pipeline that printed 0.00
minus 32.9 percent in a month after a 75 percent rip and the verdict is finally avoid. the template is a lagging indicator with a confidence score
