from 0.34 to 0.01 and the system still found 66 ways to lose money on POL. 17% win rate is rough even for a stage 4 downtrend
ADX at 96.3 with RSI sitting at 48 basically says it all. strong trend, straight down, and zero reversal signal. smart to stay out
the backtest trade log is literally buy at 0.08, sell at 0.01, repeat. who is steering this thing, a coin flip
lol six trades in september alone. also the stop loss showing -760% is my favorite part, what is that even supposed to catch at 0.01
the RSI 40-75 filter was supposed to prevent exactly this. ADX at 96 and it still bought 0.08 sixty-six times, the regime gate did nothing
-100% on the backtest and 17% win rate across 66 trades, and people still wonder why the rating says AVOID. that stop loss of -760% is wild too
The -760% stop loss number is clearly a math artifact from price being near 0.01, nobody sets a stop like that in real life. Article data is fine otherwise
even as an artifact its informative. the math breaking at 0.01 tells you the position sizing column is decorative at this price level
held matic since 2021, watched the pol migration torch my bag another -90% in six months. eth +44% over the same window while this bleeds out lol
^ the 6 month column is brutal, -90.3% vs eth +9.8%. at least DCA over 12 buys kept ~4.1k of the 15k. still a knife catch
the 15k portfolio losing to plain eth by 34 points and they still printed a full deployment plan. respect the commitment to the format at least
support 0.01, resistance 0.08, ATR 379% a day. the 3,750 position size suggestion next to an AVOID badge is my favorite contradiction of the week
the ATR alone makes every number on the page useless. 379 percent daily swings means the stop gaps through you before the fill even lands
^ exactly. any stop on this thing is a suggestion. 379 percent daily ATR gaps through every level on the chart before the fill lands
a position size suggestion and an AVOID badge sharing one page is peak quant theatre. at least the backtest is honest about what following the rules costs here
honest backtest AND an avoid badge on the same page, thats more than most sell side gives you. the theatre at least admits the ending
0.34 to 0.01, ATR 379% a day, support at the rounding error. this stopped being an analysis and became a memorial around paragraph two
migrated my matic at the peak out of loyalty. loyalty tax ran about 90 percent, paid in full, lesson received
same, except i migrated in the airdrop window and the pol i got has done another -70 since. we are the same picture
same picture here except i held through the migration out of pure laziness. the laziness tax ran slightly cheaper than the loyalty one
0.34 to 0.01 in a year and the article still needed 2000 words to say dont. the chart said it in one candle
one candle plus a year of hopium. i read the 2000 words anyway, masochism is part of holding a -97 bag
