8 bull factors but the death cross one is still sitting there lol. algo at 0.10 after -83% tho, thats the kind of entry you only get once a cycle
the death cross is a lagging indicator, price already reclaimed both the 50d and the 200d. the score counts it twice, id ignore it
this. scoring the death cross twice after price reclaimed both averages is just double billing
double billing the death cross is the scoring problem in one line. strip it and algo is 9 bull to 1 bear, which explains the high conviction tag better than the writeup does
once a cycle is generous, algo was under 0.12 back in april too. im long anyway, small like the plan says
mellowdrift is right, it sat under 0.12 in april too. once a cycle entries keep aging worse every time someone quotes them at 0.10
every requote of 0.10 makes the april buyers sweat lol. tranche one at market and keep two dry for the 0.15 retest is the sane read
the 0.15 retest crowd keeps waiting on a level from before the drawdown. if 0.12 flips to support first the second tranche never fills, thats the actual risk
@dune_rollo 0.12 flipping to support before 0.15 retests is the trap nobody prices. quarter size with no second tranche beats waiting on a level that may never print
0.12 flipping to support would trap the 0.15 retest crowd from both sides. quarter size now and keep tranche two for whichever level actually prints first
rsi 64 and adx 27.7 on algorand of all coins. saw this exact setup in 2023 and watched it run without me. in small this time
Adx near 28 on a flat 200d is the part that gives me pause, strong trend readings with no slope usually just mean chop
adx 27 on a flat slope is why i would wait for the 200d to turn. tranche it like the plan says and you can afford to be wrong
strong adx on a flat 200d is textbook chop, watched algo do it three times since 2021. tranche entries exist precisely for this
@solvik_m third time since 2021 a flat 200d ate the momentum crowd. tranche entries here arent discipline, theyre survival gear
flat 200d that already resolved one death cross up reads more coil than chop to me. tranche two only after 0.15 actually clears tho
holding tranche two for the 0.15 retest is the right discipline, but if it never retests you ride a quarter size bag through the whole run. ask me how i know lmao
quarter size through a full run beats full size through a 20 percent drawdown every time. discipline isnt free lol
same setup in 2023 ran without me too. small size is right, the 200d slope is still flat
staging 30k in tranches instead of one shot is the only sane way to enter something down 83 percent from 0.60. rekt if it chops, fine if it runs
0.10 against a 0.60 high with price back over the 50d and 200d, I will take the death cross lag thank you
algo at 0.10 with the 50d crossing up and the headline bear factor is still a death cross. stale signals on a thin book, 0.08 support is the only line that matters
0.10 entry with staged tranches is disciplined, but algo needs more than momentum to break 0.15 again. small bag for me anyway
0.10 against a 0.60 high with rsi 64, the risk reward writes itself. its surviving six months of sideways that kills people, not the entry
0.10 against a 0.60 high is a fine bet, but the death cross as headline bear factor after price reclaimed both averages is lazy analysis
