RSI 64.6 with ADX at 49.4 is basically a freight train chart. bought the 50d retest at 83 and im not touching this till 110 resistance
macd still negative while price rides the 50d, thats the one thing bugging me here. momentum says freight train, indicator says wait for confirmation
macd lagging is normal in stage 2, the OBV divergence is the one to watch. if obv stops confirming while price rides 102 thats your exit cue
obv divergence flagged the 2021 top weeks before any ma cross too. watching that instead of staring at 114 is free insurance imo
watching obv instead of waiting for the ma cross gang is underrated. free information and no drawdown required to collect it
obv flagged the 2021 top weeks early and costs nothing to watch. free exit cue while everyone else stares at the 114 line
got my fill at the 83 retest too, already up 20 percent. no reason to chase 102 when the 50d keeps getting bought
Curious how this is a HIGH conviction BUY when the same backtest lost 12.7% over 2 years with a 47% win rate. The signal and the simulation disagree with each other.
47 percent win rate with a 1.5+ reward to risk still prints, thats the entire point of trend riding. the 12.7 percent drawdown is the tuition you pay for the occasional stage 2 runner
the simulation loses 12.7% INCLUDING the chop periods it exits during. the live signal only exists inside stage 2. comparing them is comparing two different games
@Marek the backtest includes the death cross exits that chopped 58 trades, the live signal is just riding stage 2 rn. two different things imo
stage 2 rides look great until the first chop. a 47% win rate means 6 losers in a row somewhere, thats the part nobody sizes for
47 percent win rate stings until you check the average winner pays 2.8r. you size for the six loser streak, not the average trade
2.8r average winners is exactly why a 47 percent win rate still prints. the people coinflipping 0.3r scalp setups will never understand trend riding
the system and simulation disagree because trend filters only trade the good regimes and the backtest eats all of them. both numbers are true, people just quote the wrong one
right, the 12.7 percent includes all the chop the live signal never touches. quoting the full backtest at a stage 2 entry is comparing a marathon split to a sprint clock
exactly. the 12.7 is the ceiling, the system print is the live product. quoting the backtest as expected return is how you get ratioed by reality
Stop at 94 with targets at 114 and 121, decent structure. But 65% drawdown from the 294 high still makes me size half of the suggested 2500.
half sizing is smart, that 294 to 94 range would gut a full 2500. im in with 1200 and only adding if 114 actually breaks and holds
half sizing is the move. 65 percent off the high with ADX near 50 means the trend is real but one gap through 94 and your edge is gone
jorie nailed it on the ADX near 50. riding 102 with a 94 stop is fine until the day it gaps thru, watched the same stage 2 setup on sol in 22 end badly
half size with ADX near 50 is the right read. but one gap through 94 and even half position gets ugly before you can blink
a gap through 94 and the 12.7 percent backtest becomes the live number real fast. half size is the only honest position with ADX this hot
94 gap scenario is why the half size call matters. ADX that stretched usually means one more flush before continuation anyway
six losers in a row is exactly why the 94 stop exists. you survive the streak, the 2.8r winners are the rent
102 after a 294 high and the buy case is pure structure. stage 2 crowd buys the fear and sells the parabolic, the rest of ct does the opposite
stage 2 framing is fine but a 65 percent drawdown from 294 needs more than structure to convince me. waiting on the system print before adding anything
