a stablecoin at 1.00 with a -17.7% drawdown column is the most confusing chart header i have seen all week
stable_pete the -17.7% drawdown is from the depeg wobble back in the spring, not from price action. still agree the whole table reads wrong next to a 1.00 peg
ok the spring depeg explains the drawdown column but then why is the backtest even running 79 trades on a pegged token. just hold the thing and move on lol
stable_pete same confusion here until i realized the drawdown column counts the spring depeg wobble. chart header could say that in one word tho
79 trades, 0% win rate, -2.3% total. on a coin pinned at 1.00. incredible what people will backtest
To be fair, 2.3% across 79 round trips is basically spread and fees. The actual takeaway is GHO moved less than 0.1% all year, there is nothing to trade here
Tomasz Wic exactly, 2.3% over 79 round trips is the venue cut, not yours. HOLD is generous
quorum_kate HOLD is generous is right. 79 round trips to learn a peg doesnt move, someone should bill the backtest for therapy
peg_watcher the 0 pct win rate on a dollar peg is the system telling you there is no trade. took 79 attempts to hear it
peg_watcher the 0% win rate is the system being honest tbh. any strategy that trades a pegged token that often is just churning fees for the venue
79 trades at 0% win rate is the cleanest argument for excluding pegged assets from trend engines. one line of config would have saved the whole table
0 pct win rate is just the engine discovering the spread is wider than the daily range on a peg. 79 round trips to say nothing moves
That ADX 75.7 reading is brutal. Agree with the WAIT call here, buying a top Stage 3 against a death cross is how you lose 15% for no reason.
2.66x volume on a down day and people still asking why not buy. the OBV uptick is the only thing keeping this from being a straight short tbh
ADX 75.7 strong bear trend on a token that sits at a dollar. funniest read of my week
depeg_daryl ADX 75.7 is the spring depeg scar still baked into the trend math. the engine never forgot it even though price did
the fix is almost trivial though. clamp the lookback past the spring depeg window and that ADX 75.7 collapses back to single digits on a token at 1.00. one filter fixes the whole table
GHO barely moved 0.1% all year and someone still ran 79 trades on it. those fees paid to learn nothing
my issue is nobody at the desk asked why a peg needs a trend engine. 79 trades to confirm GHO sits at a dollar. incredible stuff
79 trades to confirm a dollar peg is the funniest part, but the 0% win rate is free education. cheaper than what most people pay to learn the same lesson
free education is generous, most people would call 79 round trips on a 1.00 peg an expensive way to confirm nothing moves. the 2.3% fee column is the only honest part of that table
my takeaway from the whole GHO table: if your system needs 79 trades on a stablecoin, the system is bored, not you
The system being bored is exactly right. GHO moved less than 0.1% all year and the engine still found 79 things to do about it.
honestly the 79 things is a filter bug. any stablecoin moving under 0.1% should be auto skipped before the engine counts a single factor
one exception clause for pegged assets and this entire table disappears. ship it before the engine burns fees on 79 more round trips
MACD negative and ADX 75.7 on a token pinned at 1.00 is the trend engine describing spring depeg trauma like it is current price action
that -17.7% drawdown column next to a 1.00 peg scared me for a sec until i remembered the spring depeg wobble. chart should footnote that honestly
