15% of a 30k portfolio on a coin sitting 82.5% below its 0.04 high with a death cross. bold allocation mr reid
15 percent is planned size, not deployed. whole piece is conditionals. but if that entry trigger fires mid death cross i eat my words
fair on planned vs deployed, but the entry trigger is basically the death cross resolving. could take months while the 4,500 sits idle
idle 4,500 is the cost of a conditional plan. eating months of opportunity cost beats catching the knife that made FLR -40.9 on the year
meanwhile F-Asset minting is the only real usage story FLR has and the writeup barely touches it. holding a bag for an entry trigger that may never fire
its a HOLD not a buy. the 4,500 is planned size if entry conditions hit, nobody is deploying into a death cross today lol
mr reid allocates 15 percent planned size to basically everything on this segment lol. the conditional framing is doing heavy lifting
planned not deployed though. the whole plan waits for the death cross to resolve first, its a limit order with extra steps
bold sure, but the death cross on a 0.01 coin is mostly noise. the F-Asset mint numbers are what id actually watch before calling this a hold
ADX at 36.3 with a death cross still in place is such a weird combo. Strong trend direction, wrong direction. Holding through an 82.5% drawdown takes patience most of us pretend to have.
@fjordmelt same read. RSI 52.3 says nobody is even trying to push this. Below the 200d I would not deploy new capital either.
ADX 36.3 under a death cross is just the downtrend itself trending. strength readings do not care which direction you are losing in
^ exactly, strong trend just means the bleed is efficient. FLR at 0.01 against a 0.04 high, direction is the only variable here
adx measures strength and says nothing about direction, which is exactly why systems can hold through a death cross. the flare vs eth table is the part that actually stings
the flare vs eth table only stings if you bought the token instead of the F-Asset narrative. turns out that was most people
FLR down 40.9% on the year while ETH did +38.9%. The comparison table is brutal but honest. No edge here, WAIT is the right call.
the FLR vs ETH table hurt. -40.9 percent on the year while ETH did +38.9 is why i stopped bag holding tier 2 L1s entirely
Same. Sold my FLR bag in spring and that -40.9 vs +38.9 table is the receipt. Tier 2 L1s need a catalyst beyond patience.
The -40.9 vs +38.9 table is why relative strength screens exist. Tier 2 L1 patience is just subsidized hope most of the time.
WAIT with 4,500 planned is an honest verdict at least. plenty of writeups would dress up a -40.9% year as a buying opportunity
Death cross plus price under the 200d and the stop is only 11.8% away. that stop gets hunted first week imo
stop 11.8 percent away under a 200 day line everyone can see, it gets swept first every time. the entry trigger surviving the wick is the whole plan
same, everyone can see that 11.8 line. the plan only works if the trigger fires after the sweep not before it
82.5 percent drawdown and the verdict is still HOLD with 4,500 parked. honest rating, planned flare size is just conviction i do not share
4,500 parked through an 82.5 percent drawdown is either discipline or sunk cost with a spreadsheet. respectfully, the F-Asset mint numbers decide which
