the 2yr backtest returned -28.3% on 30k and the verdict is still BUY at high conviction. love that they printed it, less that they ignored it lol
also check the comparison table, LEO is +2% over 3 months while ETH did +55. buying the one thing that got left behind is a choice
dead capital is exactly it. you can respect the trend system and still never deploy 30k into the token that got left 53 points behind
Credit where due, most analysis pages would have cropped that losing backtest table entirely. The death cross and ADX 45.5 bear trend being listed openly is more transparency than usual.
the -28.3% includes every death cross exit over the 2yr sim. trend following bleeds in chop and pays on the rare monster runs, that is the whole trade
fair, but the 2yr sim includes back to back death cross exits in chop. you need the rare monster run AND the stomach to pay the chop tax waiting for it
the -28.3 percent sim is exactly why i scaled in at a quarter size. if the death cross chop hits again i survive it, if the monster run comes i still eat
to be fair that -28.3% includes the march wick. still, ignoring your own backtest at high conviction is a choice lol
printing a -28.3% backtest and buying anyway is at least honest conviction. most pages crop the table and hope you never scroll
they printed a -28.3 percent sim and still wrote BUY at high conviction. respect the honesty, question the conviction label
agreed on the conviction label being generous, but buybacks with actual exchange revenue behind them beat 90 percent of buyback announcements in this market. i will take slow bleed reversal over a rug
buy signal with a death cross and ADX 45.5 bear trend in the same analysis. bold strategy cotton
trend following systems dont care about your death cross, they ride the 50d until it breaks. been doing this for years, works more than it fails
OBV down and volume ratio at 0.57 while price sits 7.5% off the 10.39 high. that looks like distribution to me, not accumulation
death cross and ADX 45.5 against six bull factors. engine weights price over the 50d and 200d highest, so BUY makes sense by the rules. i would still wait for the 9.85 break before deploying 30k
people forget LEO is basically a Bitfinex utility token with buybacks. the tokenomics carry it through ugly charts
^ the buyback point is fair but RSI 55.6 midrange at 9.60 is where chop lives, good luck to the deployers
buybacks or not, a utility token lagging ETH by 50 points in a quarter is just dead capital tbh
buybacks help but LEO still trails ETH by 50 points on the quarter. tokenomics slow the bleed, they dont reverse it
trailing ETH by 50 points is exactly why buybacks matter less. bitfinex prints money regardless, LEO is designed to not die, not to outperform
price 9.60, resistance 9.85, support 8.55. where is the risk/reward on that entry? youre risking over 10% down to support to make 2.6%
marta did entry to first resistance only. 52w high is 10.39, system holds until the death cross, not until the first 2.6%
entry 9.60, support 8.55, target 9.85. the stop sits 11% away for a 2.5% gain. whoever sized 30k here didnt read their own table
the risk/reward math at 9.60 keeps getting glossed over. 10% downside to 8.55 for a 2.6% pop to 9.85 is paying full price for a maybe
2.6 percent to resistance versus 10 percent down to 8.55 support and the verdict is deploy 30k. the R:R alone should cut this to half size at most
RSI 55.6 midrange, ADX 45.5, death cross, six bull factors. whatever engine spits BUY off that mix, i want to read its source code
six bull factors against a death cross and ADX 45.5 flagged bear, the engine is double counting trend strength. the BUY label feels like rounding up
