backtest lost 47% of the 10k and the verdict is still BUY with HIGH conviction lmao. the signal math is fine, the strategy itself is cooked
Read it again. The backtest is buy and hold reference, the signal section is trend-following entry. Two different things entirely.
tbf the plan caps the first tranche at 1.62 and spaces out the rest, so its not full 10k risk day one. still not calling that HIGH conviction off a -47% backtest tho
the ADX gate is what saved this thing from chopping itself to death, look at the may-jun stretch where it ate -22% in a month
buying something 75% off the high because rsi says 62. this is how i got burned in 2022, hard pass
Different setup though. golden cross plus ADX 26.6, the trend already turned. not a falling knife trade here
-75% from the 8.24 high and its still somehow above both the 50d and 200d. bottoming formation actually looks decent here, rsi 62 isnt overheated yet
Resistance at 2.14 is only 6% away, support at 1.54 is 24% down. Risk/reward on this entry is rough unless it breaks out first. I bought the 0.86 low area and Im just holding.
Held NEAR since the $5 days. First piece in months that actually cites the 200d instead of vibes. Still waiting for the 50d to flatten before adding
waiting for perfect entries is why ur still bagholding from $5 lol. vol 1.33x on an up day says buyers showed up
Aisha at least shows the losing trades this time instead of only the winners, respect for that. watching 2.14 like everyone else
