51 trades in two years and the system still only caught +10.1 percent while buy and hold lost 24. fees on two trades a month are not the story people think they are
watching 199.82 all summer too. lose it and bch goes to the 150s before anyone blinks, stage 4 is unforgiving
the 150s crew has been wrong since june though. two retests on lighter volume says 199.82 is doing its job
61.8% off the high and the call is HOLD lol. that death cross and price under the 200d at 335 kinda writes its own ending imo
Thats the whole point of the system though. Strategy did +10.1% while buy and hold did -24. You dont need to catch the bottom, you need to not ride the -36.9% drawdown.
not riding the -36.9 sounds great on a chart until you are the one eating 51 losers mid drawdown. the system backtests fine, the stomach is the part that never gets tested
the aug 27 -8.1 day is buried in a footnote but it is the only line that matters. anyone can backtest 51 entries, nobody backtests their own sleep schedule
37% win rate over 51 trades and still green. people sleep on trend following because the win rate looks ugly, thats literally why it works
51 trades in 2 years is basically 2 a month. does that backtest even include fees and slippage? kinda matters at that frequency
backtest page says commissions included lol. slippage on bch is like 3 bps on a major book, this aint some illiquid microcap
footnotes say commissions included and it still printed +10.1. the real cost is sitting through an aug 27 style -8.1 day without puking
Watching 199.82 support closely. BCH bounced off it twice this summer, lose that and the whole topping thesis goes from stage 3 to stage 4 fast
A +10.1% backtest on a 37% win rate tells you the edge is in the exits, not the entries. Still wouldnt touch a coin sitting 57% down on the year.
exits are the whole system and nobody copies them, they just copy the entries. agree on the chart tho, 57 percent down needs more than one green month
the exit table is the only reason i read these. 199.82 holds and the plan stays boring in a good way, lose it and stage 4 gets ugly fast
^ thats trend following in a nutshell tho, you eat 51 trades of chop so the two big runs (sep 3 +5.2%, sep 5 +3.7%) can pay for the aug 27 -8.1% mess
price under the 200d at 335 and they still print a buy signal at 255? hard pass until 302 resistance breaks
buying 255 under a 200d at 335 is the system buying weakness, thats the feature. but yeah 302 has to break first, agreed there
A buy signal under the 200 day is trend following being early on purpose. The 302 break is the confirmation, everything before that is positioning.
302 or nothing, agreed. the part nobody mentions is the system printed +10.1 while bch dropped 24, so the hold verdict is carrying the whole piece. id wait for the break and skip the 255 entries
The 255 signal is the system scaling in early, your entry and its entry are different things. 302 confirms, then you size up.
199.82 has been the line in the sand since june. hold it and 302 is a matter of time, lose it and the 150s clap everyone
line in the sand since june checks out, and each retest has come in on lighter volume which favors the hold case so far
37% win rate still green over 51 trades and people still ask why i stopped picking bottoms manually
51 trades, +10.1%, while buy and hold lost 24 over the same window. hold verdict is fair but the system quietly beat holding by 34 points, give it some credit
34 points over buy and hold is great until you remember the system printed 51 signals to get there. the discipline is the actual product
waiting on 302 like everyone else. the 200d at 335 is doing its job while the target table still has the wrong zeros, half the value of this piece is the levels
255 entries under a 335 200d with a stage 3 topping label. hold reads right but the 199.82 floor is doing all the work in this plan
