RSI at 62 with ADX pushing 40 is about as clean a trend confirmation as you get. Watching whether it can clear that 144 resistance before adding more here.
Golden cross plus OBV accumulation backs you up. The -68% drawdown from 399 is the scary part though, ATR of almost 6% a day means you need wide stops.
the backtest turned 12k into 10.6k and the verdict is HIGH CONVICTION BUY? the engine is fighting itself lmao
trend following works until the whipsaws, that aug 25 sell at 126 after buying 132 is what killed the sim. still long from the 101 cross tho, structure looks fine
50d at 101 and 200d at 96 with price at 126, the gap keeps widening. 9 bull factors vs 1 bear is convincing but sizing small after that 58 low last year.
RSI 62 with ADX pushing 40 is a clean trend, and stop at 110 against a 145 target is a reasonable R:R. the 399 high feels like a past life but stage 2 is stage 2
