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
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.
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
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
