2yr backtest prints -2.8% with a 45% win rate over 69 trades and the engine still calls it BUY with high conviction lol. love the honesty at least
a 45% win rate on 69 trades and they still print it in the article instead of burying it. respect for the transparency, ngl
69 trades is a tiny sample either way, half these backtests are noise with a dashboard skin
right? 69 trades, negative expectancy, and the conviction meter still reads high. algo has been a slow bleed for two years, signal or no signal
The drawdown column matters more than the signal. -81.7% from the 0.60 high while sitting at 0.11, I would want the 0.08 support to hold before any tranche goes in
fair point on the signal, but look at the DCA table. 12 buys returned +2.2% while lump sum lost 19.2%. the entry method is doing all the work here
lump sum losing 19.2% while the DCA ladder grinds out +2.2 basically settles it. the tranche structure is doing all the work, the signal is decoration
both profit targets are 0.00 (-100%). think the template bugged out on the targets, editor should fix that
both TP fields reading 0.00 is wild, kinda hard to plan tranches around a minus 100 percent target lol
spotted the 0.00 targets too. hard to take the tranche plan seriously when the template ate the exit levels, someone should fix that
15k on something down 81% from 0.60. bold. ill watch whether 0.11 reclaims before touching a ladder this wide
9 bull factors but the death cross is right there in the bear column lol. still, 0.11 with 50d and 200d both rising under it, that’s a decent base
-81.7% drawdown from the 0.60 high and they’re calling Stage 2 uptrend. I mean technically yes but that framing does a lot of heavy lifting
been stuck between 0.08 support and 0.12 resistance forever. if it clears 0.12 with that 1.99x volume this actually gets interesting
0.08 is the whole trade honestly. lose that and every tranche below it is just averaging into a falling knife
been staring at that same range for months. three tests of 0.08 this year and each one bought less than the last. one of these attempts 0.12 finally gives
0.08 support has now held multiple tests this year. a clean break of 0.12 on real volume and this base finally resolves
45% win rate, negative expectancy, TP fields printing 0.00, and a 15k deployment plan under it all. commitment ceremony at this point
