WAIT signal on CRO at 0.06, down 85% from 0.39, stage 3 topping. at least the engine is honest about there being no edge here instead of forcing a trade
^ no edge is the right read. held this since the CDC card drama, 0.06 to 0.39 and back to 0.06. textbook round trip
the card round trip scarred a whole cohort of us. 0.05 holding is fine but ADX 39.8 on a stage 3 topping read smells like distribution
The DCA vs lump sum comparison on 35k is the useful part. CRO going nowhere while BTC does +33 means opportunity cost is the real risk, not the drawdown
opportunity cost cuts both ways tho. the backtest shows DCA with 12 buys still lost 33.6%, so sitting out CRO entirely was the winning move
12 DCA buys losing 33.6% while BTC did +33 over the same window is the loudest chart in this piece. CRO needs a catalyst, patience already failed
15% position with an 11.5% stop on a signal the engine itself calls no edge is generous. would cap it at 5% until CRO reclaims the 200d at 0.07
5% until CRO reclaims 0.07 is the cleaner structure. a no-edge signal on a stage 3 topping read deserves pocket change sizing and nothing more
85% off the 0.39 high and the verdict is still wait. 0.05 holding keeps the dream alive but ADX 39.8 says the trend already picked its side
