the 2y backtest lost 11.8% and im supposed to be impressed bc buy and hold lost 24.6%? the DCA table is the only honest row on this page, 12 buys at -2.3% lol
the DCA row being the honest one is such an xrp moment. 12 buys averaging -2.3, that row is doing more disclosure than the whole bull factor list
2.24x volume on an up day at 1.53 is the part people will ignore. someone big is positioning, not just retail noise
2.24x volume at a held 1.53 after -58% off the top. that is accumulation, not retail noise
agreed on accumulation but 2.24x volume means the sellers are loud too. someone was feeding the book at 1.53 all session
Down 58% from 3.65 though. Last time XRP looked this oversold it chopped sideways for months before doing anything. Curious what stops Marcus out here
the stop is usually the 50d on these deployment plans, chart shows price well above it. sideways chop at worst you bleed a little theta
plan puts the stop at 1.36 which is above the 50d at 1.29, so it triggers before the trend actually breaks. tighter than these plans usually are
depends if you read 1.36 as structural support from the august range instead of just the moving average. tighter stop fits a 10-1 bull skew imo
stop is probably just under the 50d around 1.42. risking 7% against the 3.65 high still favors a tranche entry here
the table puts the stop at 1.36, above the 50d at 1.29. so he stops out before the trend actually breaks, that detail made me read this one twice
30k deployment on a token down 58% from its high is courage. tranches or nothing lol
10 bull vs 1 bear with RSI at 62 is solid but ive been burned deploying full size on day one. Splitting my 30k into tranches like the plan suggests
backtest ran 42 trades at a 33% win rate. the tranche approach is doing all the heavy lifting here, glad im not the only one who caught that
ten bull factors to one bear on XRP, braver than me. splitting the 30k into tranches is the only sane way to follow this signal
2.24x volume with price pinned at 1.53 reads more like a distribution fight than quiet accumulation. whoever wins that fight decides the tranche math
