r:r 1.1 on a midrange entry and the banner still says HIGH conviction lol. system says buy, fine, but a stop at 2477 when support sits at 2356 is optimistic
midrange r:r AND rsi already at 69.3? thats buying almost into your own 82 sell trigger with extra steps
RSI at 69.3 and they still call it healthy, last time i bought that narrative i got chopped at the top for a month
I ran something close to this, 50/200 cross with the RSI filter, for about two years on ETH. The ADX gate is the part that actually saves you in chop, and 47.4 is real trend strength, not noise.
And after all that backtesting you are still down 44.5% from the 4953 high. These simulations look lovely right up until a death cross gaps straight through a 2477 stop.
Backtest shows +51.5% with a -22.6% max drawdown on a 12k portfolio. The drawdown is the part nobody prices in when the green BUY banner is this loud.
@Ines right, but ADX 47.4 is a genuinely strong trend, youre paying for that drawdown with real momentum not chop. still wouldnt enter full size with resistance at 2805 this close
