25% of the portfolio on one alt with targets showing 0.00, someone QA this template before people size in
The trend signals look legit though. Golden cross plus ADX 31.7 is about as clean as XLM setups get
@ first comment, the 0.00 targets are clearly a data bug, the rest of the card renders fine. stop at 0.17 is the real number to watch imo
the backtest literally shows the strategy losing 25.3% while buy and hold only lost 19.8%, and the verdict is still BUY with HIGH conviction. i love this site but cmon lol
Trend following always looks bad in choppy sideways markets like XLM had this year. 53 trades at 45% win rate just means fees and whipsaws ate it. If a real trend kicks in that changes fast
-68.9% off the high and still stage 2 uptrend, thats the xlm experience in one card lol
XLM up 8.3% over 3 months while SOL did 50.7% in the same window. not sure ‘Stage 2 uptrend’ means much when everything else on that comparison table outperformed it
Target 1 and Target 2 both say 0.00, someone should fix that before publishing. Entry at 0.20 with a stop at 0.17 is fine but targets of literally zero make the plan useless
^ was about to comment the T1 0.00 thing. been staring at it for a minute thinking i was misreading
